By the time you exclude taxes and government imposed fees that are not eligible for MQD earnings, typically around 15% of the total fare, it's not that far out of line. And if you're going to spend $1,783 on DL but can get far more MQMs per $$$ if you spend closer to $2k, then why not?
Though the bigger question I'd be asking... is a year of Gold really worth $1,783 to you? To each his own, but I really don't consider Gold benefits to be worth anywhere near that amount when you're talking about pure out-of-pocket spend solely for the purpose of obtaining status.
