Here are some --test benchmarks for JtR bleeding-jumbo. FX-8120 CPU:
Benchmarking: RAR3 SHA-1 AES (4 characters) [32/64]... (8xOMP) DONE
Raw: 372 c/s real, 46.5 c/s virtual
HD 7970 GPU:
Benchmarking: RAR3 SHA-1 AES (6 characters) [OpenCL]... (8xOMP) DONE
Raw: 2486 c/s real, 10995 c/s virtual
(The "real" c/s is what you care about in either case.)
I think actual speed will vary between RAR files, and for different
password lengths being tested.
Your 1200 c/s is a fine speed - it's roughly what you should expect on
one non-high-end GPU.

You may try using JtR to produce some highly focused candidate password
lists - use a tiny common passwords list like JtR's bundled password.lst
and RockYou's top N (where N is e.g. 10k), apply some rules on top of
that, such as using Simon's work-in-progress optimal ruleset:
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/rules#Simon-Marechal-s-ongoing-work-towards-an-optimal-ruleset
and pass the result through JtR's "unique" program to eliminate any
dupes without re-ordering.
You may combine larger input wordlists (e.g. more of RockYou top
passwords, up to millions) with smaller rulesets, and vice versa, as
long as the total number of candidate passwords stays sane.
You may also use JtR's incremental and Markov modes.

Great. What tool did you use to extract the RAR archives from the SFX?
For distributed cracking, do you intend to use your own computers or to
get a community involved?
You may be able to share the output of rar2john to let the community try
cracking the password(s), too.
Since this code in JtR keeps evolving, I recommend trying latest
unstable-jumbo or bleeding-jumbo (for both rar2john and john) - our git
trees.
