The round trip Amtrak fare would be $164 for near rush hour trains, and between $100 and $138 for the other options. To me this does not seem like a good price but to each their own.
My other point is I would view this like I would view a flight with a connection, I would avoid it. I would still look for non-stop flights regardless of carrier instead of doing this to stay on one carrier.
