I've been downtown DC in 55 mins from touchdown - impossible through IAD
On the return I accept the lack of pre flight dinner service makes IAD attractive
It is possible the OP isn't going to downtown DC.
I fly into IAD pretty frequently but rarely head to DC itself, my company offices are in VA. IAD happens to the be nearest airport.
