If you don't fly Delta much, just keep the Amex Plat for broader lounge access and you might not care about Pay with Miles or the $25k waiver.
Given I fly mostly domestic, and exclusively Delta, the Reserve card is a great value. Every time I fly I am typically connecting which means 4-6 sky club visits with lots of food & booze. This year, according to the tracker on Delta that's only updated once a month, I've visited the sky club 36 times.

Definitely worth it for that alone, but the free first class companion certificate is the cherry on top.
