The down-side of accruing on CO/UA/US is that the Biz fares don't get nearly as good bonus multipliers for the premium cabins as the European and Asian programs do. But you'd get upgrades and such when you're flying domestically once you do move.

Win some, lose some.
The other downside is that you have to pay extra for lounge access.
