Assuming you are under IRROPS and got put on UA. I don't believe it is even close to OP's scenario. Given you are segment-based, say each EWR-CLT is around 90 minutes and 600 miles, which will take care of at least 43 segments of OP's "miles differences" and 65 hours of flight time... EQD works the same.
So indeed it's small difference.
