Use Flex EQM's now, then BIS to hit 100K

I'm in a position now with 67K Elite miles, and planned travel for 20-25K more by end of the year. I'm really not worried about hitting Platinum again but may not hit 1K. I know Flex EQM's are only to get you up to Plat, but what would be the consensus of blowing 5000 Flex EQM's NOW to hit 75K, then earn the rest via flying so I'm at 100,000 by end of the year???

It hasn't been announced, but I'd assume that once OnePass goes away in January, than if I do 100K miles on CO in 2011 they'd consider me 1K in 2012.

Thoughts???
