Thinking of going a bit longer - BKK - DOH 1 award tix, then DOH-ORD-ROC. on a separate award tix - In Total it adds 5 hours to the trip.
2 questions - 1) 2 hour connection in DOH, is that enough time? 2) are Q Suites really that great?
1) 2 hour connection in DOH is more than enough, you should have at least an hour of lounge time.
2) Q-Suites are pretty dang nice but so is JL business. They each have their quirks but you really can't go wrong with either.
Ultimately for me this would come down to if you have a better use for the 40k miles you'd be saving by doing JL vs. two awards on QR. I personally wouldn't blow the extra 40k on QR given that you've already got a really good itinerary on JL secured.
