Does Club World really warrant an ex-EU start?

Like a lot of FTers I have done ex-EU trips, sometimes even dropping the last leg (without dire consequences to date I haste to add).

While it is always nice to grab a 'bargain', is Club World that great that it warrants 2 extra return trips to an EU destination?

When I did mine, I happened to have regular business at CPH, AMS, DUB or the likes, made a nice side leisure trip out of it, or attempted a TP run, but it seems a lot of posters on this forum do it for the cash savings.

So in order to do 2x 8 hour flights in Club rather that WTP+, you submit yourself to 4x extra check-ins, irrops, not to mention another 8 hours in a plane with legroom worse than WT.

Am I missing a trick?
