I don't know the answer to your question, but I would also be looking at the cost of redemption options from some airlines to which one can transfer MR/UR points. BA charges a lot for intra-Japan redemptions, but Finnair -- to which BA Avios can now be transferred -- appears to charge just 14,500 Avios for an intra-Japan, Business Class redemption.
