For xONEx fares, it's always a good idea to specify the precise fare.
For DONE4, I get USD 7,976 from ARN but USD 8,861 from LHR.
For an AONE4, however, it's USD 15,025 from LHR but USD 15,144 from ARN.
As for cheapest in Europe, Ukraine looks a bit cheaper, but then I haven't worked my way through all the possibilities. WearyBizTrvlr's spreadsheet is an excellent tool if you want to answer that question, but I don't know if the new prices are in there yet.

Then yes, UK is still the cheapest (converted to USD) by a few hundred dollars. Note however that UK origins are difficult when one is flying around Europe due to the prohibition on transiting the country of origin.
For DONExs, Israel and Jordan are around US$1000-$2000 cheaper than Sweden, and a lot cheaper for AONExs, although Israel and Jordan are somewhat more expensive to access for many.

Looks like AONE3 ex-Israel is only around $325 more than AONE4 ex-South Africa. (A lot less flying to get there, too.) Also $300 less than Qatar.

Have manually updated Weary's spreadsheet for the moment (offered to email it to Weary to help in his updating).
Output as follows.
Have removed locations no longer shown on OW site (eg Malawi, Iran, Amernia, Georgia, Azerbaijin, Ethiopoa)
Many thanks to KiwiFlyer for the formatting help

Thanks moa999 an excellent start!
And I agree with Cheetah_SA: 10 hours is considered a short hop down here.
