It completely depends on what you're interested in. If you have no need of elite nights from the card, there's probably little down side to upgrading.
But if you value earning 1 elite night for every $3000 of spend, you lose that feature when you upgrade. So yes, there is a down side, but mostly only for those who care about using spend to get elite nights.

A post in another thread got me to look at the terms and conditions of the upgrade. This is what I found.
While we all know the answers from phone agents can be unreliable, I decided to give them a call. He did put me on hold to talk to a supervisor, for what that is worth.
In my case, my annual fee will be billed in January, but if I upgrade now, I won't get the free night until May. This is specifically because a product change generates a new anniversary date at the time of the product change. So right now, my anniversary is when my annual fee is billed. But if I took the upgrade offer today, that anniversary date would change to today's date.
The fact that the terms and conditions above are worded they way they are backs up what the rep told me. I will probably wait until late in the year now before I decide whether to upgrade the card. I was planning on canceling when the annual fee was due. However, I also need more points for LTPP. So I will reevaluate the decision in November to judge how badly I need the 10K.

Marriott Rewards Credit Cards
There are also 2 credit cards that seem new on that page on the right hand side. The first is a Marriott Consumer Credit Card with a $45 annual fee. Then there is another Marriott Business Card with a $45 annual fee.

I think those are cards that have been around a long time, but were not cards considered worth getting by most people (3x instead of 5x at Marriott brand properties, and probably no signup bonus ever), so almost never discussed on FT.
The card on the left is the only one with a "new" on top of it, and I suspect it's the only truly new card on that page.

Best case scenario is that you end up paying $85 for the first year of the Premier Plus. But it's only a $10 difference. If you try it, please post your results.
