I think I would, too, although I suspect that sticker upgrades for a Plat on the 3-class are going to be hard to get.
You might also want to check out J awards. Would cost you 65,000 more miles (90,000 plus the 25,000 you would have earned less the 50,000 you would have had to burn on the upgrade), but you would save the $500 plus the cost of the ticket (normally around $800), so you would be getting 2 cents per mile for them. All this is, of course, if award J is available.
