Seeing the above post that got 40k miles when the going rate was at $600...would you have taken 40,000 miles?

I always put in a dollar amount, but if I could get away with north of 25,000 miles, I'd begin to contemplate it more. Does anyone here have experience negotiating miles with a GA instead of dollars? Maybe 40,000 miles seems like less of a cost than $600.
