My mom just got her Silver Medallion packet from Delta (haven't seen my GM packet, but whatever). It even included luggage tags. I had a look through their brochure and saw a couple of items that sounded very good, and which I didn't realize were Delta elite benefits:
You can mix and match economy, first, business, and BE cabins and dates at various mileage levels to suit your needs. [This is great news. How do I manage this on delta.com?]
Award seat availability: Good/Better/Best for SM/GM/PM. [More great news. But I've had better luck at finding award seats if I don't log in. What am I doing wrong?]

It will show one month of availabilities for your outbound and one month for your return. Above each month will be buttons for coach and first class.
Good luck!

Also, the theory of mix-n-match is great. So too are the "three award levels" until you see how this is operationalized. Just booking a regular award ticket can be a giant challenge on DL.COM. I can't wait to hear about your experience when you try to redeem for a mix-n-match five seg transpac award.

Ah, a revelation: That's what they meant. Sigh.
