Another advantage to the reserve is that Visa is accepted at a lot more places than Am Ex.

I downgraded my Surpass back to the fee free when the card renewed in December. I'll use the reserve for most of my spending but will still use the Am Ex at Costco and for bonus categories.
I totally agree.

Re your quest of Marriott status, check out the "Challenge" threads and my and other replies to same. I think it will prove helpful to you.
