You seem to have a new DL AmEx card. Does it have some welcome bonus for spending on it in the first few months in addition to the 10,000 MQMs for $25,000 spend in a calendar year? Unless you had the business Plat card previously, you probably had a 5,000 MQM welcome offer, but check very carefully.
IMO if you're going to spend time and money flying somewhere for status, you should pick a destination where you can enjoy spending a weekend.
