This is absolutely the best advice that can be given. Don't move the miles until you are ready to book. As of right now, CO and DL should generally see the exact same reward revenue across their partners. With fees and surcharges, one might pay $50 or more extra for the privilege of booking with SkyMiles. That can make the 30% bonus for the transfer basically just enough to cover the extra costs for the ticket.

Please give me your two cents.
