Perhaps that is true on the micro level (access to award nights at luxury resorts) but overall I think SPG members get a huge win as the ROI for spend is much higher now. I was never happy receiving 3/$1 spend when I stayed at SPG properties (vs. 12-15 points for MR) as the award values were not 4-5x cheaper.
