Pick the route that is the least busy and off peak and try to see if you can get LH F 3 days before departure and at the same time try to see if you can get LH F back. It will cost more miles and the only way to use the 241 is 2 people travelling which also more difficult to score 2 F seats than 1.
Those vouchers seem troublesome to use. As simpleaviation said the difference of F and C are not that huge that they will take the extra step to go for it.
Depends a bit on the airline whether F is worth the effort. But airlines are increasingly reducing the partner inventory and only really making it available via their own program. I would read that as using an attractive asset to increase the value of their own frequent flyer program, and as an indication that people disagree with that assessment. Lufthansa can be a lot easier, you just need to be Senator member of Miles & More.
I think the difference between F and J is huge on most airlines offering a long haul F. On Emirates 77W is it the difference between an angled flat seat and a full flat seat. JAL has 3 cabin attendants to take care of an 8 seat F cabin on the 77W, that does give a very individual and personal service.
