The question is, burn 80,000 on DeltaOne (I don't have the 95,000), or spend the UR on KE?

I feel like the Skymiles are likely to lose value faster than UR, and UR are definately more flexible.

Wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence. DL's tendency to implement stealth devaluations such as the one you have already experienced makes SkyPesos an earn and burn deal. Snag the 80k D1 while you can and save the UR for another day.
