I don't have enough points to continue a dummy booking to see what the total booked cost would be.
For someone that has, with the 157,300 Point option do any taxes and charges get added to it? Also for the 139,000 plus $108.64 option?
$108.84 saving 18,300 points which in itself is attractive.

The $108.84 is the total booked cost one way.
With Velocity there are from time to time very good transfer rates to move points in. Higher than say 20% (may be higher depending what the final booked cost is for the 139/157K) could make it attractive to move points to Velocity rather than Krisflyer (Where transfer bonuses are quite rare).
