I did not understand your Reserve maths. However, with ticket prices in the $1400+ range; 60k miles + $650 still nets you Rs. 1/mile which is very reasonable value for Y. Makes even more sense if you don't want to pay so much cash for a ticket. Obviously you need to have the 60k miles to begin with.
