Plus the flight via FRA will go to 77W sometime end March IIRC, so some difference in seats depending on cabin.
Direct flight saves time, but it really depends what class you travel, what departure times suit you, paid vs. award, etc. Ultimately you need to form your own opinion based on your preferences.
