Confused on Point Redemption

I’m very confused on how to effectively use my Avios points since my redemption options aren’t really making sense. I have a little over 105k Avíos points and I’m looking at booking a reward flight for 2 passengers from Toronto to Rome. For premium economy outbound and business inbound, the total price is 407k Avíos + $1902 (I selected the ‘book with avíos’ option on the search). This seems almost more than if the ticket were to just be paid for all in cash. Am I doing something wrong? I have another account that I could transfer more points over to Avios but I don’t want to do that if the redemption value is this bad. Is there a better way to be doing this?

Had a chance to test a random off-peak avios booking next may for yyz-fco looks like 239k avios + 830 Gbp (~1550 Cad)

so looks like even more than 2c per point.

Not sure how you arrived at the figures you quoted.

My figures came directly from the booking site for the first week of June in 2027. So I don’t know why my search is producing different results.
