It would be a smart idea to diversify and not put all of our eggs in one basket (FLL in this case). We (JB) have been burned by our Northeast centric route network in recent years.
I do think a SJU connect hub would be easier to do with just A220s and A320s. Many of those longer legs from FLL would either require LR/XLRs, or just not doing it at all because it's too long and thin of a route.
