I thought about this too when I closed my PRG last night.
How does it look with my relationship with Amex, closing a card with them? (I have a Blue Cash left with a 3x CLI coming up soon too..)
How does it look in the eyes or other creditors, with a closed card on my report, opened not even a year?
But at the same time, I figure they would rather have people be responsible with their credit, open and keep what you need, and if there's an AF (a huge AF in your example), and if it's not adding value, the right thing to do would be to close it.
I look forward to other's responses that are more familiar with this matter.

+1. They are a company, not a person (regardless of what the Supreme Court ruled) 
They are not going to take it personally that you closed one of THEIR accounts. As a company, they understand that circumstances change, situations change, and the need for a specific card change. As long as it's in good standing, you'll be good to go with another AMEX card at whatever point in the future you want to pursue that.
