The reason it is "worth it" to me is that we get off our ferry in Roscoff at 8am and just found out that reception closes on the camp site were booked into at 5pm.
So I either sleep in an Aire overnight whilst losing a night I've paid for or drive without breaks. I understand that for some it's not a problem to take several days but we did plan the journey carefully. We only found out about the change to reception times 2 weeks ago.
Our sat nav says it will take 8 hours plus stops and that's at 70mph. We have 9 hours for the trip. I wish we hadn't changed to a bigger car now. As I said in my opening post, until recently we had a slightly lighter car and this would have allowed us to travel at 65-70mph.

Regards

Simon
