On the domestic front, I agree with you.
How do the taxes and fees compare for Y and the premium cabins? 20k additional miles sounds like a relatively small price to pay, but I was always under the impression that the taxes/fees for a C or F redemption represented a substantial additional cost...

Taking your LAX-HKG example, how much are the taxes/fees for a CX award ticket in C? In F?
