Ultimately I found the ticket in T on Expedia for just under $950 where I purchased it. I had even called Delta.com web support and the reservations line to see if they could get it to price out the same as expedia, but their computers wouldn't do it.

So the lesson in the end, try a few third party booking sites and see if you can get the fare you want.
Kayak was finding it, but DL.dumb wouldn't bring it up. I was redeeming FlexPoints, and it wouldn't give me the MIA connection at the price it should have, so I just gave up on the extra connection.
