Does that mean WS by default is the way to go with conversions, or should I go with Avios and just burn AE points to get to a BA gateway when I eventually want to redeem for overseas? The only other means I have to earn Avios would be via Amex MR conversions (which I normally convert to AE), so I wouldn't be likely to amass a huge amount of them.
