I think he meant OWE award (CMIIAW), but wouldn't work here since there are non OW partners.

Well if you can swing it (I assume you can :P) then it's a no brainer. OS J doesn't hold a candle to BA F as i'm sure you know.

I think its worth 1. You get BA F vs OS J 2. You get business class from TLV to LHR vs with OS you'll get stinky european business/economy seats.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.
