I-90 or NY Thruway tends to follow the sections on the Erie Canal and tends to be a more even elevation. I-80 reaches a peak elevation of 2,250 feet at Snow Shoe Pa which is much lower than Eisenhower Tunnel (I-70) in CO at 11,000 feet so it's all a matter of perspective. If you cross I-80 to save the toll you will probably want to head up I-81 to I-84 to I-90 west of Boston to avoid NYC.
