If those lounges are destined to be the new FF lounges, I hope they never get too crowded, as the facilities are woefully inadequate to cater to the crowds.
So just to clarify: You got lounge access (due to status) AND the voucher and miles afterwards? Wasn't it "if you use the lounge, no voucher"?
Will be in the same situation and since i'll only be at the airport for 2 hours, i'd rather have a voucher and qmiles; I can eat in the plane (and no drinks at the airport due to ramadan anyway).
