Total price apprx. 734€ (The J flights need to be booked on an OTA, I used CheapTickets to price this one.) Finnair's site bumps up the price.
This is an interesting suggestion. Just the kind of "out-of-the-box" thinking I was looking for.

I could also consider a LH with point upgrade, might be less stress than 4 SH flights. And I would not say no to a mini holiday either. I might even have hotel points stored somewhere for one more free night
