Eh, that's a cheap enough price (and a couple of lounges I can get into @PHX) and I should at least experience the hard product; I was going to do the SR once I got the SM to Gold even before I found the DD free link.
As for "airport ticketing", while SNA is a breeze to get in/out of, I spend most of my work days near SAN, which if you haven't had to get in/out of lately has been Under Construction seemingly since Lindbergh himself flew (and I don't believe them when they say T1 will be "finished" this fall) and is an absolute fuster to get in and out of.
