Most accurate chart for worth of credit card and airline reward programs

I fly Delta alot, and some AA, I have Amex, WF and Chase cards. This list seems to have the most accurate number (cpp) of all I have checked so far, at least on the skymile and AAdvantage program points.

TPG's list is so out of whack, I can't believe he actually put it out there.

I've flown Southwest for my entire life. Burned out by the cattle call (and the low value of RR points), I'm trying something different. Flying American Airlines on my next trip. I am hoping its not as bad as SW. At least we got to pick our seats out.

Keep in mind...the more you travel, the pickier you can generally be about when you redeem miles. There's a difference between the average value of a point across all redemption opportunities and the average value of a point across worthwhile redemptions. Then factor in status, close-in fees, premium vs. economy travel, etc. I'm not a fan of using 3rd party estimates.
Personal spend: Amex Gold, Amex Schwab Plat., BofA PR+CCR(x2), Costco
Business use: Amex Bus. Plat., BBP, Lowes Amex AU, CFU AU
Perks: Delta Plat., United Explorer, IHG49, Hyatt, "Old SPG"
Mostly SD: Freedom Flex, Freedom, Arrival
Upgrade/Downgrade games: ED, BCE
