Our segments don't count extra on expensive tickets, despite the extra MQMs for the same flights, we don't qualify for credit card bonus segments, despite MQMs being offered and we aren't able to purchase a couple extra segments at the end of the year if we are close, but not quite there.

I did stop short one year, but ultimately qualified the next year on segments, rendering stopping moot. Don't do it. You'll regret stopping short. You'll wind up having to do your 100 segments for next year and won't have anything to show for the rollover. I learned that lesson, and am planning to pass the 140 mark this year.
Good advice from one who lives it. Unless your travel is going to change dramatically and make you an MQM qualifier, this is the best advice you'll get.
