I agree with the calculation -- but the same is true for GS, and OP would reach either 1K or HON at about the same time. Either one is a nice intermediate plateau.

I've found LH miles very difficult to use. They also have a 3 year hard expiration. Will wind up burning mine at <.5 cpm in LH's WorldShop my next pass through MUC.
Yikes, that's even worse than I thought. I'd have a hard time paying $1100 for an award flight personally, but it's still better than paying for F out-of-pocket..
The 3 year expiration is waived for LH elite members. I definitely wouldn't want to be a non-elite in M&M.
