Thanks for the reply thus far! Driving to work would be the best thing really. The wife does not want to move out of MIA. I tried talking her into moving to NY so my stint at LGA wouldn't be so bad, but she doesn't want to uproot what we have here and I don't blame her.
I'd prefer the 175, but if 145 would get me MIA and thus a decent QOL then I'll do it.
Keep the replies coming, I appreciate it, gents!
