$30 r/t seems to have become a pretty stout price to get EBCI. If tons of people do it, it sort of negates any pax benefit but equals a pretty sweet profit for Southwest. I confess I do this for Mrs. Wingrider for her CP bookings often.
At some point that $40 to upgrade to BS boarding order will look more tempting.
I probably shouldn't tempt the gods or that will increase too.

Depending on when EBCI is purchased, there can be a pretty major advantage over t-24. When purchased very far in advance it can mean, for example, the difference between A and B group. Significant when there are a large number of families.

Now that I think about it, EBCI will be significantly better than T-24 if your originating flight has a lot of people connecting from earlier flight. Your EBCI will beat all their T-24 check-ins.
