I am feeling that way about the Amex Plat now, especially with the AF hike. Not worth it unless I get more use from the Amex lounges.
Palladium card was a nice ego piece (Obama had one) but otherwise just a cheap way to get into UCs. JPM Reserve will actually be a better deal under the new fee structure (at least for some of us) as the credits (eg stubhub) will require less effort than Amex monthly coupon book.
