For what it's worth, Air France seems to ask for ~$1.5-2k+ for J-to-F, didn't seem to matter much whether it's a 7-hour or 12-hour flight. But that's a bigger step up in soft product than on AA (still difficult to justify though!). If I had to make a guess on AA, I'd say $750-1000 if they even do it.

I would only use them on J->F if the route you were flying a route that gave you access to the First Class DIning lounge.
I also might be in the minority, but I find Mini Cabin J better than F. That F seat is super janky feeling and I have slept better in the J seat for whatever reason. I have enjoyed J AA meals, but most of the F ones I'd pass on in the real world. The beverage part is sad AF in First, so I skip an assured headache for the most part on AA.

Of course you can make a comparison between the two. Nowhere did I say they were equivalent, and frankly on the hard product I don't think the difference is particularly large, especially if you're comparing AF A380 to AA 77W.
