Most people stop short of Diamond, because they rather have two years of Platinum instead of one year Diamond and one year Gold. I'd be one of them, because I will travel less on DL as I move back to Europe and Diamond will not help me much with upgrades there.

You would get two years of Diamond if you pass the 125K threshold this year and next year. I would go for it.
