Really I am 'spending' 10,500 avios to save that £100, since I have lost the opportunity to earn 500 Avios by purchasing the ticket with Avios.
OP includes also taxes and fuel surcharge on the award ticket.

So using the same example, say the award ticket comes with £30 taxes and fuel surcharge. So you’re ‘spending’ 10,500 to save not £100 but only £70.
