I think their award chart is pretty lame, but if you're flying a lot of cheap MH flights then it becomes the only decent choice.
Thanks for the input! I considered MH first as well because I flown with them once this year on return NRT - CGK route O class and gained 12 EP for ~$350, which is pretty unbeatable. But, I wouldn't mind spending extra hundred dollars or so to gain lifetime status faster, considering MH require 4M points for lifetime plat.
I'm looking at Qantas/BA as well because they have easier lifetime status, but I'm unsure regarding crediting towards different FFP and eligible flights since I wouldn't be flying with them for work at all. Could you give your insight?
