REC is closer to London than it is to Dallas ( 4587 miles vs 4959 miles ) ignoring the connection issues in MIA ( esp heading back ) , so don't think that there is really likely to be any benefit distance wise changing the ticket and flying from the US with multiple connections each way over just flying back to London and starting from there
