I don't love long car trips, but this is a nice interstate and it has always been an enjoyable drive.
I-475 at Macon is definitely a shortcut. I-285 to bypass ATL is definitely not. You should do fine coming straight thru ATL if you avoid 6:30-8:30 a.m and 4- 7p.m. and use HOV lane.

Have a safe and wonderful trip!
