I started a dummy booking by comparison on klm.us. It is 40,000 miles plus $241 for non-stop flights in both directions leaving at civilized hours. So the KLM award flight is 26,000 miles less and $128 more than the Delta award.

I don't care about MQM any more.
The DL award levels also apply to the non-stop KL operated flights. See post #6 -- https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34954709-post6.html
