I guess it depends on your luggage demands but you can fly miami to orlando for 79 and the flight is an hour so you probably save 1.5-2 hours of time.

Does the 1.5 to 2 hours you save over the train account for the time you need to get to the airport early before boarding your flight?

It's already been tested. Flying saves about 30 minutes. You can work the entire time comfortably on the train as opposed to maybe only 45 minutes of work on the plane.

Each has it's advantages, it's a pretty close call and will probably just depend on the needs of the individual.

Have you tried getting to MIA/FLL TSA right now post-Gaza? It's a nightmare at times. You may save maybe an hour tops if you account for all the time you spend waiting to actually get on and off the plane. It's also highly impractical to fly from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando when it's about a 3.5 hour drive. Brightline just saves you the trouble of having to drive to those destinations.
