Ended up closing a 35k LP gap for about $480 through AA Hotels. I value SWUs at around $350 each (the lowest rate I've seen for international in-app upgrades) at the low end, and $737.5 (cost of upgrade using miles+money) at the high end so with a few more international flights before June, I figured I'd shoot for 175k.

Of course, AA strategically placed the SWU level tantalizingly close to the 200k LPs required for EXP but I really don't see much benefit over PPro where I already enjoy a high upgrade %, Oneworld Emerald, and only plan to fly around 50-60 segments this year.
