Thanks. When it looks that one path is significantly cheaper than other there is usually a reason. Here the cheaper path is riskier. However, with the difference in fare, one could afford to spend a night in MAD in a nice place and still have a lot of savings leftover. So this seems the most prudent way to go for the return flight.
Thanks again for your help. Too bad we can't build fares "by hand" anymore...
