#5 or even give up mid-tier for DM+ is not appealing to me. BUDs although difficult to use at least is some tangible benefits, better than a higher tier which only provides something I don't need (RM/private clubs).

Mid tier for rollover makes 0 sense to me. That is just a giving members the middle finger. If it’s DMP in exchange for the mid tier benefits, it depends on how you value the DM nomination, HK phone line, unrestricted lounge access etc.
The idea is nice but I can already foresee setting the bar at 2400 for a new hypothetical tier.
As for the BUDs, it is as valuable as F availability. The number of 77As will be reduced to 10 whilst we wait for new planes. At the moment, F is the only cabin constantly full on 251/252.
