Moving to SIN next year, looking for most optimised program

Hello All,

I would like to ask your expert advices as I am going to move back to Singapore. I am currently FF on Mile&More, I do not travel 100k miles per year and will definitely never become Gold if I stay on that program. I however travel more than 50k per year and believe I could get more benefits if I was moving to another program

My silver enables me to access the lounge in Europe but I won't be able to access it in SIN, where I will be travelling most of the time.

Here is my profile:

Currently:
(1) What is your home airport? JNB
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? mostly Q, V, W, sometimes H M. Y or K depending on the avaibilities and price
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? between 55k and 75k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? Frequent Flyer M&M
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? 1) Bagage allowance 2) access to lounge, 3) priority check-in, 4) upgrades, 5) priority boarding
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? JNB-FRA-BRU-FRA-BRU or JNB-ZRH-BRU-ZRH-JNB
(7) Preferred Airlines LX, SA
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? about 50/50. I can choose my tickets/class

From next year:
(1) What is your home airport? SIN
(2) What types of fares do you usually buy ? mostly Q, V, W, sometimes H M, Y or K depending on the availability and price
(3) How many miles do you usually fly each year? between 55k and 75k
(4) Do you have any kind of status at present? What is it? Frequent Flyer M&M
(5) What is most important to you in a FFP? 1) Bagage allowance 2) access to lounge, 3) priority check-in, 4) upgrades, 5) priority boarding
(6) Which routes do you fly most often? SIN-FRA-BRU-FRA-SIN or SIN-ZRH-BRU-ZRH-SIN, or SIN-CDG-SIN, and probably about 1-2 regional flights per months from SIN.
(7) Preferred Airlines SQ
(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure? about 60/40. I can choose my tickets/class, as long as the price is reasonable.

With slightly more than 50k per year (73k this year already), I am sure I could be close to *A Gold on some programs. But that would mean I have to change my program and start from scratch again, unless I can possibly get a status match?

What do you guys think?

Thanks for your advices!
