Is there a single feature of the FFP in which SkyMiles is better than OnePass? especially when partnered with UA's MP?

For CO Platinums, it's unlimited award changes period -- whether to routing, carriers, origin/destination, redeposit, etc. None of the "rationing" mumbo-jumbo like Delta Platinums go through (and I have both statuses through 02/2011, so I'm not speaking from ignorance). And CO/UA still have 2 award tiers in their FFPs - no 3 tier tax-code like mumbo-jumbo.
