What award class(es) was this booking into? I'm guessing not simply X? I searched around but wasn't able to find any similar partner awards pricing at "Level 2" (aka NL/OL) or higher.

Huge improvement IMHO if it means greater access to partner award inventory that was previously unavailable for DL award redemption. I would much rather be able to book a flight using more miles than not have award access to the flight at all.
