You may be hitting some hub penalty from PHX -- is there anything better if you drive somewhere else? (LAS? Tucson? LAX?)
12K EQMs vs 4K EQPs is quite a discrepancy. There's also a lot more time involved for EQMs.
I'd suggest just finding a half decent midcon in F. That'll get you 4K EQPs and you can just call it good.
You could do like PHX-MSP or PHX-SEA on a same day return in F for around $650 on 11/7. One and done.
Could also do PHX-SAT/AUS/IAH for $580-620 if you do a stop in DFW.
IND, MKE, and ORD are also reasonable options.
It's not the cheapest, but time has value as well.
