It seems that HEL makes a fine alternative to the LHR chaos.
Yes, this is a relatively lengthy connection for HEL. I have had less time scheduled (35 mins) to connect from a Schengen port to the BKK or HKG flights, and made them with no problems.
HEL is one of the most convenient and easy airports to use in Europe, and certainly makes LHR look and feel decidedly like a version of hell. It is our oneworld European entry/exit point of preference in most cases.
Your only potential problem may be getting out of FCO on time...
