My personal opinion is that keeping Platinum only for 2 reasons above is not a great value - Starwood Gold in my personal experience is of little value and as far as getting flexible miles AmEx SPG fits the bill better (you can get 1.25 miles for every dollar spend if you transfer them in bulks of 20,000 miles).
