Not a deal breaker by any means but you get priority boarding on VS, whilst you're often the last to board on BA, if they're boarding by row. I really don't know why BA don't offer it, I really can't see it delaying boarding by all that much.

It would be interesting to get a cabin crew member's opinion on how much boarding by row has an impact (I suspect it will but would not be too adversely affected by WT+ boarding first, or at least at the same time as the first Economy rows are called.
