Out of those Delta Platinum status would be the most valuable in my opinion but other than that...I guess I just don't see the appeal for the price of admission. I think the Platinum card is a fantastic deal but from a sheer dollars-and-cents perspective, it seems the Centurion doesn't offer any outsized perks. I guess if I had money to burn and $15,000 was a rounding error I could see having one but other than that, seems the Platinum is likely a better "deal" for the money.
Personally I find with the Business Centurion, the 50% points redemption credit on any flight is the biggest deal. Essentially 50% off any flight with any carrier. There's potentially alot of value there.
