I thought of this as well, but didn't want to critique others travel plans. A friend of mine used to travel between Ann Arbor and Buffalo weekly. He told me it was about 1 hour difference (meaning about 1 hour shorter via Canada). As your stated, for how far you are traveling it really isn't that big of a difference.
