I would wait for a DL sale. I have seen NYC or BOS to SYD for as low as $550 on DL roundtrip in coach (during a fare sale).
With status it should not be difficult to get C+ seats on LAX-SYD, but even if not, DL's 777 is 9-across compared to MU's 10-across on JFK-PVG. Meals and service on DL will be substantially better as well.
