Clearly you've never felt the impending doom of falling from top status to mid-tier or nothing.
Seriously, I have done many transatlantic MR's over the years, and I still find them more exciting than what most people do with their weekends. Even the quick turn around trips can be fun. However, it is best to have mid to top status when doing the quick MR's. All the amenities likes priority lines, upgrades, showers, and lounges helps make the trip a lot easier.
