Unless there's absolutely no discount fare and you have to absolutely get on that flight, there's absolutely no reason to pay for full fare on anything, anything at all. Let it be F, J, or Y. Like others said they don't treat you any better.
Buying Y at K-class and redeeming it up to J is probably the best route to take.
Of course if your company is feeding you the cash then you have no worries.
