Funny you should use the world "delta", because on Delta the delta is ofter $1k or more, as the fares you can upgrade can be a scant couple hundred dollars less than discount C.

Current fares are no guarantee of future fares. NW had great upgrade fares pre-merger that all pretty much went away without the fare classes changing - M fares just went up a thousand dollars or two.
