I agree wholeheartedly. I've taken 2 OTW trips the last two years, and the value you get for a business class ticket is phenomenal. Access to Admiral's Club in Chicago, the BA First Class Lounge in Terminal 5 at Heathrow, the BA First Class Lounge at Changi, the Qantas First Class Lounge in Melbourne, and the Flagship Lounge at LAX are all second to none (Saw Jessica Simpson in the Flagship Lounge with her new fiance on my way back this year). Add to that business class treatment on those long flights, and you are more than getting your money's worth. Mine priced out at around $11,000 this past November.
