What about B6 (revenue based)? Dates that are $189 on Google Flights are only 9.8k B6

For the return, check DL (since basically also revenue based). Dates that are $155 on GF are only 8k DL.

1-120,000 SPG points into 360,000 Marriott for miles and nights
2-80,000 Avios (from Amex 40% bonus transfer) plus 55,500 SPG for four nights in a hotel ( I do not need 7 nights)

Dont know if this will help...

Also, Why would you waste 55k on a stay when 120k gets you 120k Avios plus Cat 8 Cert?

Thanks!
Because I am spending extra Spg for a cert I can't use. Actually only need three nights, not four. I prefer to leave the Spg points flexible, I think!
