Sorry busman7, I might have misread your post.

I had the impression that you were considering an ex-LHR DONE4 as an alternative to an ex-North America LONE4. It's only beacuse of this that I said that an ex-LHR DONE4 is very expensive if compared to other European points of origin. It was not my intention to say that a DONE4 is better value for money than a LONE4. I am well aware that even the cheapest DONE4 is much more expensive than the average (or even the most expensive) LONE4...

In fact, all the OWE tickets I bought were LONEx since 4000 USD are a huge difference and my budget would not be happy

Sorry again if I misread.
