$160ish flights BUF-West Coast, how to maximize from DTW?

NWA has some terrific flights to LAX, SEA, SFO, etc from BUF - probably as a reaction to WN's BUF sales.
I'm tempted to fly a few of these early next year (great way to start off 2009), but am trying to figure out a reasonable way to get to BUF. DTW-BUF flights are too expensive.

The only option I see is driving the 4.5 hours through Canada, which, while doable, isn't much fun.

Do other DTW-based FT'ers have an idea/strategy on how to get to BUF from DTW to make these MR flights worthwhile?
