Look at a map of the area.
Philly is ~10 miles farther. Negligible in my book.
The population density in the Philly area is nothing compared to N Jersey.
You've got Manhattan and Staten Island on the East side all the way down to Perth.
There are more major arteries feeding into the Perth area.
In a nutshell, traffic. I lived up there a good part of my life and that whole corridor just sucks.
The drive up from Philly is nice, good roads, you can easily cruise at 80, and it's more scenic.
From my personal experience Philly is less stressful.
EDIT: If you've never seen the Manhattan skyline then fly into Newark. Gives you something to look at while you are sitting in traffic.
