This has been my strategy if at time of booking I am unable to select a seat or if I am stuck in a bad seat.
Yeah, I noticed the upgrade space as well. I've been lucky with this segment so far (*knock on wood*) so I'm slightly counting on the upgrade; but at the same time I realize that the upgrade is never a sure thing so I want to make sure I have a comfy seat ready in the back as well.

I hadn't actually ever thought of your strategy about the upgrade window...good call and thanks!
