I have to ask:

Paying for 7K miles is easily $770 spend (2 cpm for the RDM, 9 cpm for the PQM).

With months ahead of flying, why not a quick mileage run?

Note that upgrades do not impact PQM and even if they did, an interesting decision, as a reroute through IAH would have gotten you more miles.
