No chance of IB+ matching BA status. Maybe if you leveraged your BA status into a match with Skyteam or Star Alliance and then IB+ at some point runs a status match promo...
I've also recently made the switch to IB+ status from BA. The only reason to doubt my decision was the fact that I'm 70% of the way to lifetime Gold with BA. But on current travel patterns I don't think I can make it anyhow...
