If you go with a points-to-points transfer, which is apples-to-apples with SPG Amex, it's 1 DC = 1.37 BA.

Hate to keep this going; but using your logic, the normal conversion rate is 1000 DC + cash = 1000 BA. Since the offer provides 500 extra miles for the same 1000 DC + cash, that amounts to a 50% bonus.
