I am trying to figure out if it is worth it for me to get the Infinite card

I am trying to figure out if it is worth it for me to get the Infinite card.
The spending is not a problem at all, I would spend $96k in about two months (business spending but would put it on my personal card).

The benefits that I would like are:
Complimentary economy plus on check-in
The 2 bags don't help as I currently get 1 bag and the only time I need more is if I am flying with companions and they would get the other free bags


But are the benefits really worth it to me.
I currently get club access via my Palladium card. and I have silver status due to my Marriot Titanium status.
I fly about 4 - 6 round trips a year, in either elite heavy routes, or very short 1.5-hour flights.

What am I losing/cost by getting the card:
I currently am putting most of my spending on a Chase Ink Business Unlimited which is earning my 1.5 points per dollar. For this $96k, I will only be getting 1 point per dollar, so I am losing 48k points. Plus it costs $525.

So are the benefits for the amount I fly, really worth that "cost"

Thank you
