Tampa to Orlando commute

Subsequent to making the decision to move and choosing a neighborhood/house, I learned about the opportunity outside of Orlando for myself and am trying to judge if the trade-off of commuting time makes sense. IMHO, for a certain level of compensation and job satisfaction a 1-1.5 hr drive (which isn't to far off from typical commutes in my current locale) might be worth it, while a 2+ hour one wouldn't, thus my question.

When I said 90+ minutes each way in an earlier post I had missed that you were talking about coming from south Tampa. Add another 15-30 minutes to my original estimate--each way of course.

Its two hours if your doing rushhour on I4 (8-10am and 4-7pm) I made the mistake of going to Orlando this past thursday and left at 430 I hit rush hour and didnt get home till 645 and I live in New Tampa.

I have to agree it is a rough commute no matter what time of day. I would guess it is at least 2 hours too.
