CO through Newark was easier, even though I had to go through customs, recheck bags, security, etc. I had the same amount of connection time, 1 hr 45 minutes, and had 15 minutes to spare. But, there was no weather related issues..

So EWR takes 1:30 on a good day, and FRA takes 1:45 on a bad day, and you'd choose EWR over FRA?

If EWR had a bad day, you might've barely made it or missed; and had FRA had a good day, you would've had time to spare.
