And I had some interesting comments by the 2nd EXP agent who just completed a pair of oneworld C awards for my wife and I in April, with parts of it not having a lot flexibility (sfo-scl-ipc-tls-bud-lhr-sfo)
exp agent "We cringe when we get these requests."
me "Aren't most of pretty well prepared before we call."
exp agent "Yes, you guys do seem to have a lot knowledge"
And the reason she was the 2nd was because the 1st probably cringed too much and we "mysteriously" got disconnected.

Either that or I'll be so sick of flying 76:10 (in the air alone), I'll rent a car and drive Chicago-DC.

It's still not bad. I have friends in MIA and ORD to stay with and cheap tickets are always available MDW-BWI and BWI-FLL, so it should be ok.
