If you are doing lots of international travel and generally travel in Y as a GM, then a WC membership is presently better than a CRC. Lots of KL lounges are available to you that are not available to CRC members, and there are very few overseas straight-up CRC lounges. Can't tell what will happen with the merge, but based on club availability I would get the WC membership. I did for two years when in that same situation. But the cost of course is higher, and you have no status showing in WP to offset some of that.
