Personally, I would get the Sunpass, but, only use the turnpike as far as FL429 near Orlando, take FL429 south to I-4 (your Sunpass will work on FL429), I-4 west to US27 and Us 27 south until you hit the turnpike again in Miami. US27 is good 4-lane divided highway all the way to Miami, with mostly lighter traffic than the Turnpike, and no tolls. The last time I took the Turnpike, there was a lot of construction in South Florida, and the traffic was horrible from West Palm on down. You'll hit a few (6) small towns, (wave as you go through Sebring, I'll keep the light on), but You've only got about an hour from I-4 to Lake Placid, and then there's only three towns from there to Miami, and it's a good run. You'll save over $60 in tolls, while the Sunpass will save you about 25% in tolls, Florida charges you by the axle, so you are talking about 5 axles for tag and toad. Well, that's what I would and do do.
