With all due respect, there are a lot of other benefits you are receiving with that $450 dollar fee than just the 50k MR.($200 credit, lounge access, decent status with National, Insurances etc.) So you can't just base it on that. Granted if you're not a traveler most of those don't matter, but worst case scenario those 50k are worth $500 therefor nullifying the fee and putting you ahead $50 for the year.
