I was wondering the same thing. Even if one had to pay the BAEC change fee, that might still be cheaper than paying the higher carrier surcharges associated with U.S.-originating redemptions.
The OP should probably price the MCO-LGW redemption when it becomes available, and then call BAEC to see if the cash component would be significantly less if that flight were appended to the LGW-MCO booking.
