All depends on how many miles you have and your prospects of earning more in the future.

if the OP had 500k miles in their account then yes, using 200k on a VS UC flights wouldn’t be too bad (Raffles would disagree with me here, I'm sure...). But with 242k miles this would mean using the vast majority of your miles when you could do miles and cash elsewhere and have enough miles left for a few more trips of this kind.

And after all, it's not like VS's UC (LHR Clubhouse aside) is such an amazing experience that it's worth blowing all your miles on.
