edited to add: Delta/NWA flies out of my home airport and American does not. Makes more sense to switch for that reason, too.
American award availability is reputed to be much better than Delta/NWA. If you make this switch, it would be a good idea to plan future award trips much further in advance. While 3 months in advance for a June trip to Hawaii was difficult on AA, it would probably be impossible on DL/NW.
