I don't want to "waste" my points, or under use their value, but am not looking to go to China/Singapore/etc. I would like to see Australia, but don't know that I want to travel that far. I have about 400K in UR points currently.
Generally speaking, you get the best value when you use points towards very expensive international flight award trips. With that said, they are your points and you should do whatever you want with them. A lot of people hoard points bc they keep telling themselves one day they will use it on some lavish vacation. Well it is getting more and more difficult to use points towards these lavish trips.

Agreed with above, it's awesome to get great value but sometimes the opportunity cost isn't worth it. In your situation getting a free flight to FLL to take a vacation you enjoy is just as valuable. I almost have to make myself not hoard just based on "value" but you can't take points to the grave either.
PS: check out awardhacker.com & awardmapper.com are quick ways to see how much you'll have to spend in points vs transferring, especially with awardhacker since airline alliances can be confusing.
