Hertz president's circle vs Avis Presidents' club: worth it?

Dear all,

After a while as an Avis president's club, I have the opportunity to get the Hertz equivalent via a limited corporate deal.
so far, I'm undecided as to whether jump ship as I get the following benefits with Avis:
->1-car class upgrade in 90% of the cases (with sometimes 3-4 class upgrades on 1-day rentals)
->2-car class upgrade on weekends
->Free 2nd driver (and 3rd driver with BA)
->Generally marginally better rates on Avis but that's comparing with Hertz Amex Plat CDP 211762
->Weekend voucher

I am primarily renting SUV (Nissan Quashqai or similar) in Europe on a short rental pattern (usually 5 days max), about 10-12 rentals per year.

Hertz PC offers the following as far as I know:
Guaranteed vehicle availability
• Guaranteed one-car-class upgrades with every rental
• 25% bonus points on all Hertz or Hertz 24/7 rentals
• 900 points after every 10 qualifying rentals, the equivalent of a Reward Rental Day
• Email offers for special discounts, exclusive events access and invitations to win fabulous prizes

Based on the above, do you think it would be worthwile do jump on the offer
