But surely the value depends on how easy it is to earn the miles in the first place ?

If you have to fly half as far on BA to get 85k miles as you do to get 80k miles on CO then the miles are much less valuable (or more valuable, depending on how you look at it).

You need to look at the earn rate as well as the burn rate.
