Whilst it isn't perfect, I would miss it immensely if I were to drop back to Gold. GF feels so impersonal. I'm in the CCR a few times a week and feel very relaxed and at ease in there. Getting to know the people does make a huge difference. I think that's what I would miss the most.
I think it depends when you are there. I am hoping the new PP lounge a T5 comes with some decent paid booze/food options too. The good CCR staff are great but some are shocking and you should not have to invest years of effort to get good service. Most in the lounge will not have that luxury.

If I look at what extra I spend to get CCR card compared to what I get, then it isn't a great deal.
