Also considering that the CSR would give you better insurance, as you stated, and bonus points in more categories. What part of the hotel statuses do you frequently use?

Amex Plat gives you FHR which is worth more than the net AF per year for me.

Also Amex protection benefits are actually usable. Any high value purchases go on Plats (I carry both personal and business Plats).
