You're welcome. Have a great trip.
I could not get this price at any other OTA, it only worked through the script and the pricelink link. Genius! Now, any way to explain to someone who knows nothing about computers how this was done and why delta.com won't price it properly?
Overall, mixed cabins is very much YMMV on OTAs.
The userscript that generates the links to the OTAs specifies the booking class for each trip segment in the Priceline link, which allows you to do mixed cabin bookings. Although the Delta link uses the correct fare basis (ZFW7ZNAC), it specifies "Coach" as the cabin for the whole itinerary;
this appears to be a known problem with delta.com and mixed cabins.
