SPG Amex (Cdn) or Platinum Amex or something else?

Hello fellow FT'ers. I need help deciding on what card I should use.

Being in Canada where Amex is not always widely accepted, I have still been able to put $66k on my SPG Amex card within the first 6 months. I fully anticipate that I will spend over $130k before the end of the year.

Am I better off continuing to use my SPG Amex or should I consider looking at other options? I don't fly a lot (maybe 4-6 times to the US and 1-2 times overseas) and so I don't belong to any top tier level of any frequent flyer programs. My company has a corporate account with the IC and so I don't rack up a lot of paid stays with SPG. I've been using my SPG points (mostly from my Amex spending) on SPG properties during family vacations (3-4 weeks a year). Love the value that it gives me.

So what would you do in my situation?

Thank you all for your advice.
