Used both in the past. The Acela is a shorter trip (maybe cuts an hour) and has nicer train cars than NE Regional, but I wouldn’t say it’s worth the price jump. NE is still a good way to travel, and the cars are maintained pretty well from what I remember.

Unless time is a super high priority, I’d go with NE.

The Acela time savings is more like 20 mins. I have ridden both and personally don’t think Acela is worth it.

Yeah, it saves time if it’s on time, but if it’s not on time it’s not worth the extra money. I usually book whichever is least expensive (once or twice the Acela actually was for me)
