So close to DM...
Only thing worse than waiting to hit DM is being 1070 MQM's away and having the outbound side of my next trip (TPA-ATL-MSY) only get me 1000. 
I'll hit it on the return but maybe I'll get lucky and be able to SDC through MEM to reach the magic number on the outbound.

AND, I no longer buy international M fares since they soared past the $4200 mark. Instead, I take a back seat and watch the seat mapper of the flight I will be on dwindle down until it seems obvious that there will be op-ups on the flight. As DM, your sitting pretty with a free ride up front.
This will be my 2nd consecutive year without choosing the SWU's.

For me, the other options don't work. My wife is usually gold anyway and the others are not really all that appealing.
