My plan now is to keep at least 700 gems in the bank for GW tickets, and use any excess for outfits. I'll go back to multiplier upgrades when I've got all the outfits I care to unlock.
Helpful hint about multiplier upgrades: I agree that while working towards tournament level 15 it is usually best to save for the biggest multiplier upgrade (300 gems). The exception is when you can reach the next shop level with a smaller upgrade (100 or 200). To get the most bang for your buck you don't want to overshoot by more than you have to, because every gem you spend in a level is worth 5x more than it was in the previous level.
The shop level upgrade applies to new gains, not the one that pushed you into the higher level. If you're super impatient, spending 100 gems to get to the next level and then immediately buying a 200 gem upgrade is much better than spending all 300 in one shot.
