Newbie question BA vs AA

Hi all,

I'm looking to book a flight with JAL F (ORD-NRT) using points I have on my Amex (in Canada).

Currently, I can only transfer my points to BA, but I'm quite disappointed in the rates they require for my trip.

Comparison:

JAL Points -> 110,000 points + $645.00 taxes, etc.
BA Points -> 180,000 points + $645.00 taxes, etc.
AA Points -> 125,000 points + $2.50 taxes, etc.

Why is there such a difference? Is there any way to get matching structure or transfers considers they are all partners?

Thank you.
