IBTW, with business class round trips around 300k miles nowadays, I don't see a few thousand miles as being worth much anymore.
I did LAX-DOH-MLE on QR in J for 70k and CDG-DOH-PER in F for 110k last year, and booked LAX-SYD on AA in F for 103k for May. I would take the miles over a food voucher any day but would also never pay 300k in points for an AA flight.
