So...

Seat selection - £15
Baggage - £15
Lounge - £10 of snack and drink not consumed at the airport
Priority security - anywhere from £0 to priceless if you're running late
Empty middle seat - ?
Avios - £10 per person
Food/buy on board - £10 per person, maybe less from the lounge

So to replicate the Club experience (excluding the middle seat and fast track security) could cost £50 each way for a non-status person. Having it all bundled up is worth something, especially if you value the two I couldn't put a price on.

Add in the value of chasing TPs (I value them at £1 if I'm striving for a higher tier) then I'd say it's a good deal, but by no means the *right* deal.
