For me, it would depend on the price of the run and whether or not you fly internationally.

As for the larger question, in addition to the comforts during qualification already mentioned, I would also point out that you're smarter the next time around.... you already know how to maximize points and miles per dollar and trip well enough to qualify and will only get better at it.
