I was thinking the same thing. The 2 p.m. only had full F fares and was almost $600 more so even if I can't SDC the savings is worth is leaving 8 hours earlier. I wish the redeye to DTW was after midnight so I could SDC on that but I have had luck with the diamond desk agents allowing me to do a SDC onto the redeye as long as I was on the 6 a.m. in the past.
