For the price of additional fees charged by BA on US-UK transatlantic for 1 award booking , can purchase annual AA lounge membership
Very true, although for me personally the biggest downside would not be denied access to ACs but rather other OW lounges (which most US airports I tend to use have).
Say, the OW lounge in MIA, QF/BA lounge in DFW. But of course only the OP can decide whether this is a feature they are interested in or not.

A good point for AA Plat.
