To me the 100K F awards on UA are a no brainer.
Glad you found the flights that work for you. As for the 250K redemption, that is a rule-buster award. The cost for redemption on DL/NW/CO is also 100K if the seats are available. Without knowing dates I cannot say if the seats are or are not there. Still you got the seats on the dates you want at a fair price, so nothing to complain about there. Not sure which of the UA 777 configs you'll have, but all have fully flat seats, something that you would not have had with a SkyTeam redemption.
