Any thoughts from the experienced travelers on this subject?

Thoughts/comments/suggestions greatly appreciated.
In my opinion, you are better off with the regular Diners, not Carte Blanche. The Carte Blanche is ideal if you golf a lot (Executive Golf Club), need an international cell phone, and need a dedicated travel department. The regular offers the primary car insurance, airport lounge access, club rewards, etc... I don't know how to explain the extra $205 premium on the CB product. You can also look into the Chairman Card (MC Branded) from Citigroup, which offers Priority Pass among other things.
