However if the LH miles go further I could turn a blind eye.

Haven't done a deep dive in to both programs yet; mostly interested if one holds an advantage over the other since <B>most of these bookings will be on multiple metal</B>.

I think you may have answered your own question. Flying on United makes sense if you’re also looking for lifetime status. If you become top tier on LH, it’s a better experience.
