On the other hand, I could apply for the Surpass right now, and get the 120K sign up bonus and lock in the lower annual fee for a year. Then I could keep or cancel the Reserve and it wouldn't make a difference.

Anyone have any advice for me, or see an angle I'm missing? Thanks.

I would absolutely apply for the Surpass right away, and once approved quickly cancel the Citi Res. With any luck AMEX will issue a "new product" next year, and you can then apply for that too.
