A couple of random figures...say you needed an extra 84k avios. With the 40% bonus that is going to cost £1,075.
If you had 28k available to boost (remembering that it is only the previous month's earnings that you can boost), you could boost x 3 @ 0.0092p at a cost of £772. cheaper to boost, but if you don't have that many available to boost, then obviously not an option. If you don't need them immediately, spread it over a few months of earning.
I stand to be corrected on my calculations, if I have something wrong.
There is a thread somewhere devoted to Balance Boost
