The cash element of the Avios redemption is somewhat lower* if you make the booking over the phone with BA. You have to call.
(*at least, this was my experience when looking to buy an EI flight from AMS over Christmas. BA charged significantly less than the Aer Club/Avios site wanted for the flights).
For anyone looking to buy on the DUB-LHR route, though, you really should be booking on BA. You can get a Reward Flight Saver for just €11 in addition to the Avios...
