I think this might be the biggest hindrance to switching. However, a quick look at Amex SPG shows that one can get a 1:1 conversion to LH M&M or SQ Kris, or slightly better than 1:1 when one includes the SPG 20K transfer bonus. Unfortunately UA/CO is 2:1 which is definitely of less value.
I remember there was once an excellent chart someone had developed online comparing the *A programs. This is now pretty out of date; perhaps it's time to make a new chart to ensure myself that AP is the best option...
