I've been browsing all of these threads and I think I'll do what a lot of PMs are planning on doing - get as close to 125k without going over to get a jump on next year. I don't see anything in DM that gets me so excited that I'll go for it. I haven't missed an upgrade as a PM in months and I think its only one all year (this to me is the biggest benefit of PM status that seems to get lost in all the other noise) - so DM gets a higher priority but so does EP today...

The PMU decision disappointed me - It doens't bring same day international upgrades into play for me, because I'm not going to be a Y/B/M fare on the chance that I might get an upgrade. I'll do what I do today which is buy the fare when I KNOW there is Z availablilty. That said I'm also disappointed that they have reduced the number of PMU's - I've used every one I've ever received.
