Not by any stretch would many of us consider spending $1,000 to become Platinum if at Gold now. So your assumption above is no good.
Look up threads for "platinum worth" to see what others think.
I'm Platinum this year, and love it. Saved hundreds in change fees for a summer flight to France (kept changing dates/destinations) and have a decent upgrade %, considering all I tend to fly is EWR-SEA/PDX/SFO.
But...I just renewed at Gold, and not going to spend the $1,000 to make Platinum.
