Anyone care to chime in on the differences between Palladium Chase and this RC card aside from UR benefits?

I have the Sapphire Preferred card currently to supplement my SPG AMEX and use the AMEX Plat for the travel bennies.

The Key benefit I see from the RC card is an opportunity to gain and maintain Gold Status at Marriott chain to compliment my SPG Amex coverage while also covering what AMEX Plat does mostly in travel and concierge.

Don't really intend to stay in RC and FHR used only twice before frankly since regularly stay and fly on points....just need to gain status based on spend.

My current backup plan is Hilton for 40k spend for Diamond and $75 annual fee with the key benefit there for the DD force on award stays.
