waiting won't help much insofar as expedia et al are concerned because those sites only sell full fare (plus a little exchange rate magic, as far as i can tell).
as for the fare difference being small, it is true that j isn't a whole lot more than full y, but right now y is around $60 (as you observed), which is a lot cheaper than $150 by my math.
