Not ready to make a committed change yet - but thinking about it & curious on others takes?
I think the main jump between platinium and 1k is the SWU. If you don't really use them, there's no point in flying around an extra 25k miles (especially if on your own dime and your own time) to get SWUs that you aren't going to use.
