I get that BA F can be as good as (or even sometimes better) than Qsuites but if you take the GUF upgrade out of the equation I would guess not many people would opt for BA CW vs. Qsuites and pay significantly more for the privilege.
I ditched my LHR-SYD (2for1 voucher used) for the QR equivalent. More points on QR (360k vs 300k) but significant less fees, and a much better product (not Qsuite but a380 with the impressive a380 lounge (bar), the other factor is QR was the best airline of continuing through the pandemic, so youre more likely to have flights running should the worst happen (covid comes back aggressively). Because youre flying first the only advantage BA has is the CCR @ LHR.... but id swap to QR if i could.
