Thanks. While I like having this new option (thanks PC!), my "angle" is if I'm willing to pay $60 (and 5K points) then there's also my priceline thresshold. If I can't beat $60 then might as well go the PC award route.

If going the PC route somehow earned stay/point/elite credit then the math would've been harder. But now it's pretty straight-forward.
