Those two together would make any redemptions much tougher for me.

On a side note, have just taken the Virgin Australia Velocity status match - will be eyeing up their program pretty closely too as they partner with NZ, SQ, VS, EY - all of which useful for my travel patterns.

You missed OZ's biggest benifit (IMO) - lifetime *G for 500k miles.
