Assuming BA eventually can let passengers take electronics back into the cabin, I will probably continue to use Turkish on this route, both for business and leisure with family.
I've just booked with TK for exactly the same reasons. I'm not going to get more than Silver before my year ends so don't need the points and everything else looks like it will be better.
