Shall I go for a two-elite strategy?

Actually, for some 8 years I am Elite level in at least two programs

LH FTL since 1999
AA PLAT 1999-01 and EXP since 2001, 2MM (PLAT FOR LIFE) since 2006

My travel pattern is the following:

Mainly Europe-Latin America
Intra Latin America
Some Europe-Asia
Maybe 1 RTW (Business) a year

Generally I fly some 70% paid Y, 30% J/C. Upgrades are the most important thing for me. Can afford to pay B-Class in Economy.

BIS over the last years:
2002 177.731
2003 148.611
2004 163.298
2005 173.373
2006 214.064

For 2007, in the beginning of June I will be at around 50k EQP at AA (100k needed for EXP) and 60k miles on LH.

I have planned a RTW in OW (DONE4) which should give me EXP anyway.

Shall I go in parallel for SEN this year?

And then how shall I proceed? Take full advantage of my status? Or concentrate next year on getting maybe a SkyTeam elite (FB,CO?) in addition?
