Two cards by themselves won't give 125k MQM (you can get 60k at most from each of biz and personal Reserve), I suspect if the business card is a Reserve and the personal card is Platinum, that would be enough with a few years of rollover to be Diamond.
Redeeming the miles on DL for an occasional flight on DL metal could also give surprise elite credit for one who thought only revenue tickets got credit.
