I don't think the SPG AMEX is at all superior to the HHonors Surpass card. The Surpass card offers superior earning ability (HHonors Surpass has double every day spending bonus and triple points on HHonors Family stays, SPG AMEX offers only double points on SPG stays), an online booking bonus for every stay booked with the card (500 points/stay), a useful status level for just having the card (HHonors Gold), and the ability to earn top tier status through spend.
