I like the Saphire Reserve card and intend to keep it and pay $450 each year. The $150 true annual cost after $300 credit is worth it for the Priority Pass with unlimited guests, although I was declined entry into the Alaska Boardroom at LAX Friday.

Thanks for the education!
It is unclear if both cards will remain post merger - so you may want to hold it for one more year just to see what happens.
