Transit in Moscow -- transfer from SVO to DME

Looking at a SkyTeam award ticket IST-HAN transiting Moscow. Arrive at SVO, depart from DME.
Miles are the same whether I transfer within SVO or SVO-DME but the fees are about $100 less if I change airports. Of course that could all be consumed by the cost of getting from one airport to the other.
Another consideration is the extra $100 is for SU the whole way, the cheaper ticket is IST-SVO on SU and DME-HAN on VN.
I can also transit through CDG, AMS or various combinations of European cities.
Thanks for any advice.
