For what it's worth, Delta has started subbing 700s and 900s to DHN lately. Once the 200s are gone, and if DHN keeps its service, JS on the 900 won't be quite as bad as on the 200. (on the 700, it'll be comparable to the 200. Those things always have weight restrictions when the weather is low)
As others have stated though, a 3hr drive to ATL is definitely not bad if on LCR or with a line.
Food for thought.
