Thanks all. Hardly the most gripping of stories on this board, but in case anyone's slightly interested, I went with the cash fare and then used some avios to bring the fare down.

83 odd quid for two return, and with avios and TPs. Feel quite good about it, such a short flight to Turin and the lounge there sounded rubbish. Also, Monopole...

Enough J flights coming to easily cover and increase my miles stash. Cheers.
