Even at 50 visits to LHR is it really worth £40 "per visit" for a better lounge and First Wing.
Many ways of looking at it, for example the ability to open any flight for double avios and extra economy seats for Golds can be invaluable for RFS peak season redemptions.
I saved over £700 last summer alone on these redemptions.
If you wanted to go to hawaii anyway, and Gold would save you £700 then I'd say £1000 for a business class ticket to hawaii was a bargain. You'd get upwards of 30,000 avios too which has value.
That said, if you have a way of generating 4 BA companion vouchers over a 2 year period - GGL is where it's at for the jokers.
