I have also been slightly happier with Ambassador status as of late.
The main difference is that since Bonvoyification, hotels finally recognize Ambassador as a higher status tier than Platinum and Titanium. I have gotten some stellar upgrades thanks to my newly named status and due to pre-planning on my part. I always book the cheapest best room. As of late, I've gotten ridiculous upgrades at the Ritz Langkawi, W Bali, and Ren Bali, Gotten elevated treatment everywhere else too.
I also switched Ambassador recently and am relieved by it, given my old one just completely abandoned me. The new ambassador is professional and responsive and eager to help — though I haven't used her much yet.
