Flying is a miserable experience, and I find the slightest improvement typically makes the whole trip more worthwhile. At this point it's Jet Blue or Virgin for my money.

Your certainly in a position to afford the higher priced ticket, so why deal with the headache? Multiply your hourly rate x10 hours you'd be losing via the layover, and it's an easy answer. May the 4 Hour Work Week be with you, and also with you my son. To quote from the holy book of Tim Ferrisotomy, chapter 4, verse 242:
