How much more would you pay for a V fare over Z?

I am booking a visa run flight for 2 adults and a child with a seat from KMG to JHG on China Southern. It's a 50-minute flight.

A V fare earns 40% of miles, Z earns none, but is 60 rmb ($10) cheaper per person. Is $30 worth it for 40% of miles for such a short flight anyway? We do not have status, but my husband probably will by the end of the year due to 2 RT between the US and China this year.

ETA:Actually, it's even more confusing...the 40% is based on the China Southern rules, but our FF account is with Delta, which says V earns 25%, but Z to them is Business and earns 150%. Wut.
