So when you transfer MR-SPG, and then SPG-Marriott, you're essentially getting 1 Marriott per MR (terrible value).

Is there anywhere I can search real reviews of the current miles buyers. Don't see many names mentioned at all in this thread. I've contacted a few I found off a SD list.

if you are selling you can't transfer to KE as they don't book third party.  UA needs to be clean so that doesn't always make sense. Based on that I would say SQ

Generally around 10% less, depending on the size.
No real risk with UR-UR
