We've been pretty much exclusively flying BA for the last 4 years, I worked my way up to Silver status but now soft landed down to Bronze this year and as we only do PE holiday packages about 2-3x a year and maybe 1x short haul economy flight here and there I know I'll drop to Blue next year. So as a result, we're looking at doing PE in Virgin next year for Orlando.

I've heard the Virgin points/credit card etc are overall better than BA is (now) and that Virgin fly newer aircraft so is a more pleasant experience in PE, which I'm presuming is why BA is significantly cheaper a lot of the time. Is it worth the switch or is the price not worth it?

For reference, we're both above average height so PE for us mainly hinges on extra leg room/wider seats, my partner loves the food on flights so that's a plus too.
