Of course a cab is easier (unless it gets caught in traffic - I've had
some trips where it's quicker to walk).

If luggage and stairs is the issue, I'd try: Heathrow to St Pancras by
Piccadilly, northern ticket hall, Thameslink, change to the Bognor train
at Gatwick.

Makes it an awful long journey. *Taxi works fine.

As with any journey you are balancing cost and time. That's a personal
decision. But if money and convenience are the main factors, suitable
routes are not always the direct ones.

Also balancing the amount of luggage. I take journeys with a
briefcase I would never consider with two suitcases and a carry-on.
Deep level tubes are exactly a case in point.
