Airline prices are based on origin / destination pricing consideration and routing is a secondary issue. This is what hidden city pricing is all about.
Actually, it won't often be $350. At that point, you can usually get a back to back ticket with a fare break.

I guess we will never understand the vaguaries of airline pricing.. maybe I can just book the long layover and try for a SDC.

Thx!
That's a married segments issue. Do the search again using multi destination.
