As others have said;
1. There is no First Class internationally on Delta. It is called Business Elite.
2. No, do not hope for an upgrade on a non upgradeable fare.
3. If you cannot afford it, I am not sure what the decision is.
4. If you can afford it, it probably would be worth it if you enjoy all the perks that come with Business Elite over coach. If comfort is your primary concern, then that is the perk you would be most interested in.
