I have a question for you CO elites...

I recently relocated to Houston thanks to work, and I fly 100+ flights a year... I'm 1K (platinum equivalent) on United and am stoked for CO joining *A

My question is, what would you guys consider the things that set CO elite status apart from the crowd... I ask because UA is getting pretty crappy about their upgrade awards and such and I'm thinking of finishing this year as 1K and asking for status match and switching to CO once they are in *A...

The other option is stay UA and accrue the miles on CO... But I think this would nix most of the benefits of being top level elite... How does CO treat other airline elites from like Delta now, so I can guess at how they'll treat me if I don't switch...

Thoughts?
