I can think of no good reasons to stay with UA.
While agree with you that it is normally the best way to hold status with the airline you fly most, I can't recommend SQ KF unless you plan to become a PPS member. SQs earn/burn ration is nothing to write home about. If you are looking for an alternative to UA MP I'd suggest to have a close look at BD DC and M&M.
