If 9 out of 10 of your flights are BF (or the UA equivalent), I could understand it, but you don't indicate what % of your flights are domestic.
Well, I thought about it but as stated before, since I never had a problem entering RCC's anyway, why reallly bother.
As far as domestic vs international: I fly by far more international on Star Alliance, which resolves the question of access to the lounge due to Star Gold membership.
Regarding domestic travel: less in my control and I still fly a lot of SW and non-Star Alliance.
