Good Question. I was only comparing the route via Fort Worth as mentioned in the post above. With that comparison, my comments stand.
Now, what surprised me is that the route through Texarkana, Wichita Falls, Amarillo, etc. is only 50 miles further. So it is not so extreme a choice as might first seem and, depending on where one wished to stay overnight and what kind of roads, etc., might still be chosen.
CORRECTION: On more careful checking I find the actual difference is 35 miles.

Going to Ft Worth puts the trip 100 miles more to Amarillo. Going 82 will surely be quite a bit longer in time. Graduated in Bonham, Texas and brother lives in Paris, Tx, so I'm very familiar with 82, but could be fun! My sisters live near Dallas, in Crandall, too so both are certainly options. I can include a family reunion in the mix. I'm thinking and I like the 82 option more and more.
