Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't have any M&M miles. Would it be possible to use cash (of course, paying a discounted amount, not the fare difference)?

No, unfortunately not. Fares will be quoted and the difference according existing fares will be charged.

You could only hope of a upgrade for cash offer at the check-in, prior your departure. But happens very rare... :(

Both flights are wide open in all classes. So far no chances for an op-up.

LX does offer cash upgrades. More here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles-more-lufthansa-austrian-swiss-other-partners/627665-long-haul-cash-upgrade-gate-merged-6.html

Thanks everyone. It's honestly a win-win for me. If business is empty, I'll get my choice of seats (at the moment my SO and I are in row 11, and we managed to snag an aisle pairing in row 5 on the return. Preference would be for a pair next to the window in rows 4-5 both ways.

And if business is full, I'll just upgrade to first.

The only window pairs are odd AB, so only 5AB in the minicabin. I wouldn't worry about windows on the night flight...
