You're correct that GO is really stuck in the middle.

IMO Silver is the best "bang for the buck" in the whole program if you're based in Hong Kong. Relatively easy to hit, and then access to all the CX J departure lounges at HKG. CX essentially treats SL like a GO normally would be treated in another program, and then GO is lost in the wilderness.
