More MQMs and MQSs -- and probably more MQDs as flights from those airports are generally more expensive.
A forced double connect is probably the biggest reason to exclude BUR and LGB if you're traveling to any medium-to-smaller city east of roughly San Antonio (like CMH, as OP is). Unless you simply don't care how long it takes to get where you're going. And further, that double-connect means your middle segment is going to be hub-to-hub, which is still going to be highly competitive for upgrades.
