Just considering the classic MR if you look in that corner of FT (an odd world indeed) is like 4cpm (cents per mile) while on EK the best I've ever seen is around 8-9 (on flights to/from DME if you're interested, however in Y Flex and Flex+, J and F not as good.)
I'll probably fly a bit more j next year and not travel quite as much (said that this year too)
Plat is good for getting d class upgrades so quite worth it if I'm close to the 150 mark
