The other way to do RDU-LHR daytime is via PHL, a recent addition. There's an RDU-PHL flight departing 0525. I took it this week. Believe me, no crowds at check-in or TSA at 0400. By the way, the Admirals Club at RDU now opens 0415. The PHL-LHR flight is a 757 but so far, loadings on the flight are light according the FAs.
