The other value to booking with your Chase Reserve UR Travel is the included Trip Insurance you get with Chase.
The free coverage is substantial enough to cover the insurance required by some tours ( valued at >$250 depending on the cost of the trip). It is not only for travel by tours, any travel is covered. But.......you must purchase the travel with the Reserve Card.
Amex Plat does not have trip insurance but does offer the best Medical Evacuation coverage around ($100k?). They don't require you to purchase the travel with the card to receive this benefit as they consider you as a "Amex Member" and it is offered as benefit to all members.

96k MR miles transferred with bonus to Virgin Atlantic 120k
1 first class round trip NYC to Tokyo
20k flight for 96k MR
does this imply they are worth 20+ cents a MR? Only if I would be willing to spend the $ on ANA otherwise
