Let's not forget that Plat in Starriott is the third published level (not counting any enhancements for lifetime status that may be rfelevant here) from the top, below PPwithAMB and PP now, while Glob is the top published WOH level. It's also a matter of 60 nights with a small foot print versus 50 nights (35 after credit card, and then 25 after one cheap meeting) in a huge chain with lots of really cheap properties.
