First, see above.
Second, thanks for being honest about it.
Third, as has been noted before, don't bother upgrading the short legs. There's no meal service on either flight (too short), therefore an exit row will probably prove more comfortable.
On the other hand, springing for a few more upgrades for SEA-STL, with a "real" meal service, would beat 4+ hours in coach any day, IMO.
