I guess what it boils down to is that taking my route, once I am on I-75 I am essentially already on the turnpike (actually only on 75 for a quarter mile or so then I get in the left lane and am already on the turnpike). Once on the turnpike I can go 70 mph (or a little faster). Taking 301 is usually slower--35 mph at its slowest, 55 mph at its fastest with Wildwood business district (and associated traffic) thrown in to boot. I've gone both ways, but I know which one gets me there faster.
