And in your case, your gold status automatically allows in your missus anyway

Couldn’t agree more - especially where an ultra-short, up & down, sector in CE such as BRU-LHR is concerned !

The very idea of handing over 27K avios (+ €110) for this sort of flight is pretty much the perfect definition of anathema to me (even though I currently have a good stash of avios waiting to be burnt). I just think there are so many better uses (and true benefits) to be had.

All that said, it clearly suited the OP ....... so I guess, ultimately, that’s far more relevant than my own perspective.
