I would agree that 1K isn't really worth it. I didn't re-qualify this year and don't miss it!
But then if these saver awards to Asia are important to a FF, then 1K does get you there quicker with the higher mileage accrual. Maybe a little difference cf Platinum, but certainly not insignificant compared to GM, silver or gold.
