Under the current system I barely made it over the 100k miles threshold thanks to the various bonuses (double miles in Q1, 1.5 miles in Q2 and 3k bonus at the end of the year) - without them I'd be closer to 60-65k. So it looks as though the new system is more beneficial to me. However, I still think it makes less sense than the current one (I mean the fact that FRA-TLV in P give you the same number of miles as FRA-EZE in J is just mind-boggling).
Which also means you would have to do all that flying plus the extra trip to TLV in P every year just to renew SEN. If LH introduced rollover miles, it would some sense to me.
