The other possibility i'm debating is booking up Premium Economy of Cathay Pacific instead, as it would like you get me by BA Silver status for the next year!
That is a HUGE fare difference. If you are in serious need of BA Silver, you can just book CX. The experience is comparable. Here's a vid from Asia Travels that did a comparison between the two.

I just realized you booked on P, meaning you can't upgrade using points!
