Default Driving Route to The Villages

I know that this has been discussed previously many times. But each time the question is asked, someone offers a new suggestion, or there is a new highway or by-pass that has opened, and I learn something new.

On our trip home to Canada from The Villages, we took a new route that had been suggested by a member of TOTV, through the Ocala Forest and Ormond Beach to Jacksonville. We loved it.

Now we are anticipating our return from Canada to The Villages. We are planning our route. When driving from Canada, we usually take the 79/77/26/95 route (as opposed to 75). We prefer a more "scenic" drive which may take a bit longer, but to us it is a more pleasant trip.

Question: Is it still a good idea to take the 9A east bypass around Jacksonville over the busier 95 route through Jacksonville?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
