4750 avios & £25.79 booked via BA.
That is incorrect. £25.79 is what you would pay with with 9250 avios in the new system. At 4750 avios, the cash element would be £45.79. That is what makes using maximum avios as the new base for calculation of the cash component so spectacularly more expensive for non-RFS redemptions.
