Started my own itinerary calculations (now with better understanding of the SBB 1/2 fare pricing) and I'm in about the same situation as you were, give or take approx. 100-110 CHF LESS with the Half-Fare Card vs. 8-Day STP.

For the STP premium you basically get to hop on/off ANY regular train/boat/bus at ANY time included, FREE museums, and 50% off on the mountain pass routes/lifts (except 25% at Jungfrau) so you just show your STP and pay the difference, correct?
The STP seems to be a printed "hard copy" only, correct? No digital/app version available?
If you did it again, would the STP premium be worth it vs. the hassle of ticketing each route and segment?
