Is AB TopBonus worth it?

I live in Austria and work in Germany. I am looking for a Visa or Mastercard, with either airline or hotel points, to supplement my American Express card.

I have researched options for cards in Germany and Austria, and pickings are very slim indeed. The only credible options seem to be Miles & More (which doesn't suit my style of travel), or Air Berlin.

I only ever fly economy class and am looking to redeem for Y flights with low fees. I don't really want another OW FFP, but AB seems to be my only option for my non-Amex CC spend (probably €10k/yr or so). Is AB worth it, or can anyone suggest another airline or hotel option, preferably in Austria? Would the HHonors card at €48/yr be better?

Current programs:

Aadvantage: 235k
United: 150k
Avios: 75k
Alaska: 16k
Flying Blue: 13k
IHG Rewards: 265k

No status other than IHG gold (miles earned and burned over 20 years, and not bothered about status).

Thanks in advance.
