The consensus at the BA forum seems to be that the heavy extra charges you have to pay for BA award flights to and through the UK make cashing in miles for BA economy flights a waste of time and money. You still pay hefty charges for J and F award flights, but at least you're getting to fly in those premium cabins for much less than you'd pay if they were revenue tickets.
