From Hillsborough (north of 44 near Eisenhower) it is definitely faster to take 301 to the turnpike. The distance to the 470 entrance might be the same but you trade 10 miles of 70mph turnpike for 10 miles of Villages roads and roundabouts.

Others have noted that the tradeoff is different if you live near Morse. The shorter distance down Meggison and the traffic on 44 can make the Meggison route faster.
