We're looking at a trip in Oct. Coming back there's a possibility to connect in EWR. Maybe we should go to PP lounge rather than trying MLL there.

I think the $399 annual fee is good value for money.
The ae infinite card offers 1 free checked bag, priority check-in, priority boarding. For priority security clearance it only includes some Canadian airports, but most importantly not Toronto.
The lounge passes might come in handy. But in Toronto, if going to US, the last few times they did not allow you go to to security and customs until it was getting close and by the time it's finished there is no time to go to the lounge.
The BMO World elite MC is FYF again, with 4 free PP lounge passes. The Scotia Amex is also FYF with 30k bonus points and offers good travel insurance.
The $400 cost of the privilege card, just doesn't seem good value.
