Low upgradable fares were nice on NW, and a lot of us who fly a lot miss those fares. Having said that and holding a M fare that cost me 3 X as much as one on NW in the "good old days", I am STILL on the waiting list 9 days out for and upgrade using a SWU on DL 259 that is still listed as J9 D9 S9 I0 Y9 B9 M9 H9 Q9 K9 L9 U9 T9 - as a charter Diamond Medallion. It is more than the fares - it is also the benefits of being "loyal" - or lack thereof.
