There's no way AC is worth double the price.

You probably already know this, but you can earn BA miles (but no tier points ) or VS miles for the flight.
Actually, I find HP's F product to be not bad at all. I've been on a few AC and UAL flights recently and have done forward cabin on some, and I miss HP's leather seats, adjustable headrests, etc. Perhaps I've just had the wrong flights on AC/UA - but HP's hardware in first isn't too bad.
