"The Why of Fry" is a top ten episode for me, but the only thing that keeps it from being finale material, I think, is the lack of screen time for any character besides Fry. I mean, the entire second act is just him and the Nibblonians. I love the note the episode ends on, where Fry has just saved the world and gotten closer to Leela, but a good finale should really include all of the characters to a greater extent. Devil's Hands did that really well, I thought; the story revolved around Fry and Leela, but the rest of the PE crew had their moments.
That said, though, I think "The Sting" would have probably made a good finale, since it utilizes the whole cast really well and ends on a sweet, progress-has-been-made note.

If course Devil's Hands was perfect in the respect that it WAS basically an opera at the end. A form of art so old and respected that the whole cartoon genre is a mere infant compared to it. It was: Let's go for the REAL great art, let's go REAL big, let's get really CLASSIC. All other alternate endings can -imhO- only qualify as finale based on the assumption there never was a "Devils Hands" episode
