And I agree with juddles. Because we WPs need to stick together. But I'm surprised at the (almost) unanimity of the responses. I follow the 'Platinum One Experiences thread' to see if it might be worth my making the effort (I currently split travel between QF and AC to Nth America) and I haven't seen any compelling arguments.
But I guess in the OP's case its a low hurdle to get there now, so 'might as well'.
The arguments which compel me most (and BTW I would have a bigger margin to make up than the OP for P1) is Int upgrades granted 1 week out, Partner Platinum, soft fall to Plat and the SST in the event of IRROPS.
Not at all swayed by Flight Sims, bottles of wine or other schmoozing.*
* however in the unlikely event of me getting there feel free to schmooze me all you want QF
