Revenue is a no brainer only if you book domestic first class (or high fare refundable economy) with cash. If distance still gets you 125% miles in J booked with partners (remains to be seen), then for people who mostly book mid-fair economy (i.e. upgrade certificate eligible) domestic AS tickets and 2-3 international J trips yearly via OW partner sites, then the metrics will skew much more toward distance being the better deal. And imho, if one is booking first class outright on domestic flights anyway, I’m not sure how much benefit you’re getting from status.
