xyz - well if Zurich the more options of a pass over the card is again you could do a short cruise on beautiful Lake Zurich - would be all covered by your pass as you would be using the 100% covered travel day to get to Zurich so could use the boats 100% covered as well. Also the pass will get you into any museums in Zurich 100%
For your plans i say the pass is the best because:
Half-Fare Card is out because Swiss Card would cover your two long train trips and the fare for those would more than make up the difference in price between Half-Fare pass and the Card and then Card would give identical benefits thereafter - therefore Card would be cheaper
But a Swiss Pass is only (3 day saver flexi) $19 more than the card and your excusion, esp the Murren one from Wengen at half price would be more than $38 i suspect maybe well more and even with the $20 less reduction on the Jungfrau a better deal because of the many more options it presents
like not having to take the most direct route like the Swiss Card and definitely not having to worry about Lugano being a border point or not with the Card.
And plus the Zurich boat option the day you arrive there, etc. And it covers you in full getting to Wengen and leaving from Wengen.
I just think the more flexibility with it and from what i can see it will not cost more maybe less (depending on what you do on its 3rd day of 100% travel) and it also gives you 50% off everything on other days you don't use it for 100% travel.
