I stated above, this will not be for everyone.

Many people can't find 25K awards to places they'd like to go, at least not without double connects.

If Delta's award availability was better, I'm not sure I would have posted.

However, I guarantee no one should buy 60K miles for $1800. Now, that IS a horrible value.

I wouldn't do this deal on any other alliance, but think it makes sense on Delta, especially for a non-elite account.
