As I'm sure you know, the outbound would use one of your 1/09 SWUs; the return would use one of your 1/10 SWUs. I guess it doesn't make a difference if you never use them.

Or I can pay $770 and upgrade to C class using my SWU's.
1) Check NC availability and the cabin load on your flights and make sure that it's a safe bet to clear. 2) Consider whether the miles you earn on the revenue ticket would get you over a milestone like 1K or elite choice. 3) Have you considered a *A award C or F award? In your situation, with that many miles and some flexibility, I would either try for a *A C or F award and, if not and provided there were NC availability or a great chance for an upgrade, I'd pay $770 for NC both ways.
