Amex 2-4-1 worthless?

Hi guys, I find myself having two 2-4-1 vouchers to use and I am struggling to find them worthwhile.

I was looking at going to Delhi. A cash J ticket from Pisa with Qatar is £875 each. Using the voucher from Heathrow is £516each + 125k avios for a far inferior product, no tier points or avios earned.

Yes of course not having to position, change in Doha and having Heathrow on my doorstep is convenient but in a way the 125k avios for me are far more valuable than £1k if used on last minute European redemptions from LHR.

Therefore, I am looking at a better value redemption for destinations that don't usually go on sale. Obviously availability is an issue both in J and F but any help/tip would be appreciated.
