Conflicted on what to do--take the confirmed availability via JFK (shorter 77W flight), or chance LAX? Ah, first world problems...

For me, if there's a confirmed SWU, I always take it. Why? There's always the chance of having to fly in the back on the TATL flight, and I REALLY don't want to do that!
