I know I would loose some bonus miles for the first few flights, but is there any reason to do so? Might be availability of Trans-Pacific Business Awards is better if you're WP Plat? Nothing to worry, I expect 2009 appr. 400k status miles

Yes. The Platinum Elite Concierge.
Of course, the FB Platinum Card should still let you in to the lounges so you don't need to buy a WC card either.
