They offered me either £350 in cash or a £500 voucher, based on the amount I actually spent.

Everything is relative, but I thought Swiss Air's service was way better than Lufthansa's HON Centre. I asked the HON helpline for an update a few days ago, but they just told me to ask Swiss.

If I hadn’t asked the Swiss, I don’t think I would have received the money…
CCC are way better than LH HON service but SWISS HON do not have a PA.

Your voucher offer was more than the cash offer, which is their normal practise, just be aware all legs of a trip must be on LX flights to be able to use the voucher.
