IMO, upgrades as a GM are great. I've only missed 3-4 since January 2007 and that's why I fly DL. I actually value these upgrades more than the miles I accrue, which is why I'm willing to fly DL (where miles are worth next to nothing, but I'll get upgraded) compared to AA/UA (where miles are greatly more valuable but upgrades are harder to come by/cost $). Once my upgrade % drops, there's no reason for me to stay.
