Your RDM/MQM/MQD calc looks correct. As for a good bargain, that's all relative. Depends on if this MR will put you into the next status level, how much you value said status, and your appetite for slugging it in Y for ~40hrs.
I did a very similar MR over Thanksgiving 2016 in PE (W) on VS SFO-LHR-JNB-LHR-SFO for ~1200 which got me to DM. As PM you'll have access to the clubhouse at LHR in both directions (assuming you're on same day connections) but not JNB so plan accordingly. I got to JNB early to check out the clubhouse but was denied entry by the lounge attendant claiming the PM/DM clubhouse benefit only extends to LHR and US locations when traveling on a same day TATL.
