Keep in mind AMEX MR would only transfer to CO OnePass till Sept this year. After that the relationship terminates. SPG transfer to CO/UA is a very POOR 2:1 ration. You instantly lose 50% and then some value on your SPG pts transfer to CO versus other airlines which is at a 1:1 ratio and a 5K bonus when you transfer 20K lot.
