Also for the sake of just retaining points, it's silly to pay an annual fee, so that's why get a Freedom or base Sapphire. If you already have a Freedom, you're good to go, just open another credit line, or increase current ones before canceling.
I was thinking of opening UR alongside of SP, then transferring points from SP to UR (I think TPG suggested doing it this way), and then downgrading SP.

I read somewhere that if you upgrade your SP to UR, you are ineligible for the 100k points bonus.
