West Virigina advice. I-64 out of KY or Rt. 15

Next month I will be heading to VA from southern IL. I would prefer to see some of WV on the way, and possibly overnight there (Want to ad my WV sticker! lol) I realize that I-64 through that area is a toll. Having no experience with either of my routes mentioned, I'm looking for feedback. I have a small single axle trailer and have not computed the toll fees yet. If time permits, I would love to see some waterfalls if they're not too far off the path.

I would appreciate any feedback as to the two routes. I can always return via the one I don't choose to take on my way, but will be more pressed for time that day.

The toll is $2.50 at the Chelyan and Pax toll plazas. Some much needed construction on I-64 between Milton and Hurricane. Watch for potholes on I-64 from Hurricane to Charleston. The turnpike is very windy from just south of Charleston to Beckley with a 60 mph speed limit but is very good road but even better east of Beckley into VA with a speed limit of 70 mph

Oh, I'm frequently on I-64 through KY. I'm 8 miles off I-64 and approx 150 miles from Louisville. It's east of Lexington that's new territory for me, as I cut south at Lexington on my usual trips.
