The OP is not spending $6K on a ticket; the OP is interested in an
award ticket, not a
cash ticket.
The price differences for cash tickets across carriers will often be negligible, due to competitive pressures. But on an award ticket using AA miles, the cost difference between using or not using BA for TATL segments will be substantial.
