It matters way more to me how easy it is to actually redeem those miles, and on this, MP is still far ahead of DL or AA.

When DL, AA, or UA start going strictly revenue based for redemptions, THEN the sky will be falling.
Totally agree. I never redeem RDM for myself, only for family members. My concern is what do they go after next? There isn't much left, except things that DO matter to me.
