Unless my maths is totally off, you need 100k each for a return in F on a cash & miles.
You could buy 24k each which would leave you with 183k, so you'd only need 17k which you could get with the sign up bonus for a credit card assuming that one of you doesn't already have one.
Alternatively, if you did J then you'd only need 60,000 each for a cash & miles return so you'd have 15k left over from your 135k.
