I agree - it all depends on the OP requirements, indeed. I checked Matrix and the routing through LAX is indeed possible - but (as you were implying) it triggers some 500$ additional cost one way.
Actually the flight to LAX is around 40m shorter than the one to JFK, layovers can be similar, the rest is additional ~3hrs flight in La Premiere. Not too bad.
