Good luck on your trip planning!
Good points on both counts. The new AA J seats are indeed very good - I believe they've started using them on DFW-LHR, or will do so soon - but award availability could be very tight and they will be phasing them in slowly over a number of years, IIRC. But it's good to be aware of this option for down the line.
