Are you a yay or nay to Avois subscriptions

I took out a cheapie subscription for GBP 55 pm, just to get enough Avios to book a flight LGW-MLA that was $900 for a cash fare. Mission accomplished (got the last seat), and I'll probably cancel after 3 months, although I can see the value for intra-Europe flights.

I used to have the Avios subscription. I was paying monthly, but my rate was grandfathered. And I cancelled it after I got enough points for CDG-SYD in Qsuites for two people.

Just completed that trip in August and it was probably the best flight of my life. Kind of kicking myself that I cancelled the subscription because I'd really like to have more Avios to do more Q-suites. lol

Obviously the price has gone up and I'm not sure I want to pay for the whole year in advance. Do people still think it's worth it to go on the highest plan but on a monthly basis? Is this still a good or reasonably good value for buying Avios? Any feedback appreciated from the Avios pros.
