Also, could I use QFF points for a One World CP?.
As
jerry.a.laska has pointed out, you are leaving a bunch of miles on the table - even if you buy just the cheaper xCIR22 product
Perhaps consider a holiday in SWP - such as to NZ or to the big red rock. You are allowed two free stopovers per continent, and can purchase two more at USD150* each (except for the continent of origin) - so each of these itineraries will increase your cost by USD150
Have you looked at the cost of the 1-way positioning flights at the beginning and end?
These might be expensive - and perhaps are candidates for using your QFF points?
* if buying the economy ticket (LCIR22) then I would consider USD150 expensive - but if in the premium cabin then this is a bargain
