NO - I'm asking what I would get in return in the future by giving up my current Hilton Diamond status for 40 nights to get to Marriott LTG

If you're staying anyway then yes, it's worth $0.
Well, I wouldn't staying at Marriott anyway, I would be staying at Hilton and getting the LTD benefits so it wouldn't be a $0 difference.

There has to be some definition of a "cost" to be "worth" something.
Again, I would be giving up Hilton Diamond benefits for 40 stays - what will Marriott LTG be worth?
