I go back and forth if it's actually worth it. Spending 1200-1500 for the rescheduling flexibility... blah. I definitely wouldn't spend that kind of money just for the F upgrades and the free drinks.
$75 per reschedule means you'd have to do 80 reschedules in one year to cover the $1200 cost of your MR. Hardly seems worth it.

80 re-schedules at $75 each equates to $6,000.
