Again, we weren’t planning on booking a one way with $ but unlike QR, the price for EK is exactly half what the round trip would be (usually a one way is considerably more than half the price of a round trip).
Another negative I see is that I earn most of my miles on OW, so QR would be better for that too. I have no status with EK so the miles earned there would be useless.

OK. Only you can determine whether the cost gap ($1600 + miles earned on QR credited to whatever OW program you use + value of status miles/points/whatever earned in that OW program) is "worth" it. I would choose EK, but that is me.
