(I'm not an expert on the TK programme, so if anyone has info indicating this really is a good deal, please let me know!)
I haven't double-checked your maths, but it could be a good deal for a long-haul J award, especially on a no surcharge *A partner.
However, you can regularly buy Marriott points during a promo for 0.83 cents. Buy 60k for $500 and you can convert those into 25k TK miles --> 2 cents per mile.
