Think of it like this.
If MR can transfer 1:1 to Avios always, how can BA ever be worth more?

Still not, for the simple reason that MR xfers into Avios instantly.

If you transfer now to BA and wait 5 months and there are no more bonuses until then you very well may come out ahead.

True, but again, assuming BA and AmEx don't divorce or any other some such change, never can 1 Avios > 1 MR.
