Why would anyone want to do quick turnaround at SCL? There's so much to do/see, why not spend another 2-3 days, consider it as extended weekend. I even regretted not booking 1-2 day stopover in MEX initially (never mind, stopover not allowed as I booked MCO-SCL too and will decide which to keep).
In addition, unlike Europe and Asia, regional flights are very expensive in Latin America, therefore JFK-SCL at $1100 <> JFK-EZE at $1100 if you actually want to go to SCL or vice versa. AV and CM have JFK-MVD going for around $1050, adding regional MVD-SCL will surprise you (cost wise).
Speaking of overnight layover at MEX, advice on where to go/see for 14-16 hours besides staying inside airport hotels?

Expensive? I easily find SCL-EZE Y for less than USD300 roundtrip. Or you could redeem 15k avios on LATAM or 16k UA miles.
There are a lot of options for MEX long layovers. You can start with the destination forum here.

Booked in August from MCO for an extended weekend in SCL. I had the JFK fare ready to go but got pulled away for a meeting.

This fare plus MCO-SCL would net more then 40K in MQMs and almost $8K in MQD, for less than $1,600 in actual spend.
