With BA and Iberia the number of avios for business awards is usually more or less double that of economy awards. (same is true for AA as far as I remember)

Is it worth spending that amount of avios to fly in business or is it better to use your avois for economy bookings with Aer Lingus.

You'll be paying almost 4 times as much if you travel Off Peak.

And your statement regarding BA's rates is bit off. LHR-JFK costs 13k/50k Avios off peak (in Economy/World Traveller) and 20k/60k Avios peak (in Business/Club World) - compare that with EI's prices for DUB-JFK; they are identical!!!!
