Which airline? US Air or Continental? I'd consider it on Continental but not on US Air.
At the end of the day you have to decide if spending that extra cash for a 4 hour flight is worth it to you. That is a lot to spend, especially when you multiply it by 4 to get the whole family up front. On the flip side, the seats are bigger and CO actually has pretty decent service on the route.
