We have been travelling here for 7+ years from MA. 81 is indeed a nice alternative for us compared to 95. The only time we avoid 81 is if we travel north in the winter and there is a winter storm. It is interior enough that there can be significant difference in snow fall amounts.

I have never tried your route through Atlanta, will look into that. We take 81 - 77 - 26 - 95 - 295 - 10 - 301 (never had a ticket knocking on wood as I type).
