I will add in all honesty 301 never really bothered us that much to change the route. We stay off i10 too by taking 228 thru the Normandy section of Jacksonville then go directly onto i295.

We take the western roundabout as well, opting to take 84 west to Scranton and then taking 81 to 77 to 26 and not getting on 95 until well into South Carolina. Agree it adds about 125 miles, but disagree it adds 2 plus hours to the trip. However, it can easily save you from sitting in 2 plus hours worth of traffic, some highly congested white knuckle driving, and eliminates several tolls.
