Yes that sounds about right. AA first award is cheaper than BA business award. BA price their premium cabins as a multiple of the price of economy (J is 2x, F is 3x). However be sure to check that AA can book the flight you want before transferring the miles. At present it appears that BA can have better availability of CX awards than AA does (ie, don't assume that just because BA/QF/JL web sites say award space is available that AA will be able to see it too).
