Moved to Hong Kong, and am negotiating w/ CX to honor my 1K status (Marco Polo Diamond) in exchange for getting my roughly 200K of miles I'll book this year.

I like the direct routes I can use the miles on from here (Hanoi, Bali, etc.) but am loath to start at the bottom of Cathay's program.

Questions: How do those of you on the Asia Miles/Marco Polo program like it? Do they give bonus miles based on status (I get 100% as a UA 1K) or just what I see on their website about 150% for 1st class, etc.?

In general, I'm looking for a comparison between what I've got and what CX has to offer in their program.
