Valuing redemptions is by its very nature subjective. I consider my use of 270K miles for two $12K SEA-FRA-SEA seats in LH F to be an excellent value. That might change if my wife and I had small children traveling with us (we won't), or if my accumulation of points slowed and we wanted to maximize our number of overseas trips (it might). I don't begrudge anyone their calculation of what FF points are worth; I just want them to acknowledge that the calculation can't be done objectively for all people.
