Let us know what you think!

Also, it sounds like your connections are short (during which the Al Mourjan lounge is a nice place to kill a few hours...), but if you end up with >6 hours in DOH and want a place to take off the mask, the airside hotel is really very nice (with a great swimming pool, gym, and spa). A little pricey (and QR doesn't pay for it), but we found it to be well worth it on our 2 layovers of ~9 hours each a few months ago. Also, even if you're not a hotel guest, you can pay ~$50 to pop into the pool/gym/shower area; it's right above the main terminal area, airside.
