Definitely more flight combos available via QR.

But as an example, Asia to Europe, the tax is far cheaper booking via BA vs QR.

I like the prompt refunds BA give but I value the longer layovers that QR offer.

Summary; always check both before committing to a booking.
In my case ex-LHR it’s always cheaper (at least in my experience) to redeem via QR. I think OP’s booking scenario is ex-London too.
