Some people with hours on their hands in between flights might not fancy the pretty poor state of affairs that is the BA waiting rooms- aside from the CCR - at T5
that is a rather simplistic and questionable comparison. In real life you’ll pick different restaurants but trade off time the time and hassle to get there vs. the dinner experience.

this is the same. Frankly, the stress and time involved in Terminal hops far offsets the chance of some finer tasting pretzels in a lounge with different coloured seats.

If the ‘experience’ really matters then value your time. It’s the most finite thing we all have and better spent than in Heathrow security screening, transfer buses, or trying to get your boarding pass revalidated for conformance.

So sure, if you are a lounge spotter and this will change your life, do it. (But beware the risk CX might have reached capacity and turn you away). If not, there are so many better nicer things to do than security screening and buses.
