That is, if the ticket costs more than $600, it would make more sense to use the 60k miles for the full cost of the ticket rather than applying as a $600 credit and paying the difference.
Yes you are right, if a 800 $ flight for example was going for 60K award redemption, that is a better deal than pay with miles which would need 80K or 60K + 200$.
