I have looked up how much mileage cost on UA and what I saw was roughly $35 per 1K miles. So if based on that, my 174K points = 174K miles should be worth around $6000 USD. So that means it's better to transfer?

Thanks in advance for any clarification on this.
The transfer is only good if you plan on using it. If you transfer but don't plan on using it at all, you are better off wit the $1700.
