The issue with BA is upgrade availability which is not that great, and I was hoping that though AA it might be better.

If you switch to AA then to upgrade on BA you need to be in a 'W' fare bucket for WT+ which is the most expensive.

BA rewards are good value for Euro flights (called Reward Flight Savers) as you pay a small fixed price plus Avios. And paying for WT+ and upgrading to CW is excellent value if you can find availability.
