JL C 787 SAN-NRT or AA F SAN-LAX-NRT (with additional r/t LAX-SAN)

Hopefully the title is sufficient to get you started on my dilemma!

Wife and I are flying biz class SJU-ORD-SAN (stop for 8 months) SAN-NRT. Just saw some space open up in AA first on LAX-NRT route. In order to make that work out, we would have to book a seperate nested round trip LAX-SAN. So the modified itin would be SJU-???-LAX (stop, separate flights to SAN and back to LAX 8 months later) then LAX-NRT in Z.

The question is, do you think adding another stop en route home from SJU, miles/$ for r/t LAX-SAN is worth the better class of service on AA? on JL? Also, wife will be 6 months pregnant on return from SJU and we'll have a 5 month old on trip to NRT.
