Everyone's standards are different, but a $450-500 domestic ticket is nowhere near my threshold for redeeming miles. (The ticket would have to be closer to $1000, and it would have to be for a trip I absolutely needed to take, otherwise I just wouldn't go.)

In the current market, $450-500 is not too bad for a multi-segment itinerary such as yours, especially if the alternative is using 25K miles.
