Thanks!
Boy, did I ever make an error on this one! I went back to book today, and found out that I was comparing apples and oranges (2 person booking vs. 1 person).

The correct pricing was that Amex quoted $288 for two people on my one-way, and Chase quoted $466 for two people. What an incredible difference in dollar price. In terms of points, Amex was 28K points, where Chase wanted 31K points. Booked using MR points and save my huge bounty of UR points for my next big roundtrip.

Thanks again.
