The 777, on the other hand, is a newer aircraft with IFE and a brighter cabin. I flew it once in Y from MIA-EZE and found it to be far more comfortable than its 763 counterpart.
Another reason for avoiding DFW is that it's out of the way -- the flight distance from JFK-EZE is the same as DFW-EZE. That being said, I usually fly business and prefer to go via DFW for the extra miles and the superior 763 J-class service.
Have you looked into B fares?
At least from JFK and MIA, they're pretty reasonable. I'm not sure how much they are compared to BOS B fares, but worth looking to since upgrading is only 10K one-way and no copay
