I just passed through Miami today. The E lounge is threadbare--looking worn--the big bar isn't used, seems like a space that is looking for a purpose. One room is taped off and nothing happening in it.
I did have the uncomfortable position of being in FC from Kingston, sapphire and an AA member and not having access to the FL lounge. My gate was in right across from it--it is a great location, but going down to D15 from D37 isn't practical or expedient.
