I guess intro-Europe taxes are lower, though using TLV or AMM as starting point you only pay €40 extra in tax and same amount of miles.

And it's relatively easy to accumulate miles on TK's M&S, as you get the exact number of miles as you have flown on TK metal, whether discounted or not. In comparison the LH M&M is useless...
MM awards are even more expensive,unless you can get a fly-smart and pay the tax with miles,and as you said LH hardly credit anything for cheap revenue tickets. MM is totaly useless!
