I can see Avios is much more use to GGL holders where it can be used in conjunction with the various vouchers.
Just being gold is good though, they often release extra seats for RFS. To be clear is this not the pay double forced releases, it's just extra availability. Of course as a gold on paid flights you earn a lot more Avios too.
