If you currently have status within OW, get a status match from TK and just go with that. Note that since this year the match requires a challenge, but nothing a cheap mileage run on TK to IST can't fix. The advantages of TK are clear (easy requalification), but redeeming awards is a pain.
M&M does offer a so-called "silver-promotion" where you can reach FTL with 30 segments on M&M airlines (NOT *A!), but if you fly in booking classes that accrue with TK I'd just go that. SEN is nice but unless you fly a lot in J or F it's very difficult to obtain (and then, if you fly J or F you don't really need status anyway).
