Unless this is an itinerary you have a need to fly, it doesn't make sense to fly it for AS accrual.
I disagree, have you factored in the comfort and joy of flying in business class? Yes if it's economy then it's not a deal. You have also overlooked people needing to accrue milked and status with FWC.
