Sounds about the same for me, as GO. Had a chat with a friend just last night about CX; we are both GO at about 1,000 club points. Both of us could easily make DM if we wanted to, but we agreed it just didn't make any sense.
We don't use the checkin counter, mostly traveling only with carry on bags. We don't use the lounge, and mostly prefer to arrive just on time. We haven't seen any difference in how the airline treated us as we went from GR to SL to GO, so not really sure how getting DM will help.
In the meantime, we're just moving business away where possible. In fact, I have bought maybe just 2 or 3 long haul revenue tickets from cx since renewing Gold four months into my membership year. Next year, I might just go for silver then start flying other airlines.
