wow, this even has me baffled, and I freely admit to doing a MR here and there myself 
.....why would you do 85% (!) of your flying as MR'ing ? So you can enjoy the perks on the remaining 15K ?

I am confused as well. I always thought the point of a mileage run was to make up the extra miles needed for status, and the point of status was to make your business/leisure trips more comfortable and enjoyable?
Making status just for the sake of status seems pointless. Then again, I just use the great rates found in the MR forum for mini-vacations where I can top off my accounts and see some place I haven't been to yet.
