I do - since I convinced our finance people that WT+ counts as "economy". I usually do a minimum 4 transatlantic trips a year so doing that in WT+ qualifies me for Silver. There is no way I could justify it in CW.
The inflight service isn't that much better but the bigger seats mean that you get some better quality sleep - plus as a Silver in WTP I'm near the front of the queue for upgrades.
Also, my company doesn't require a Saturday night stopover for US trips but it's something I like to do (since I have no family and nothing better to do). Often my WTP fare with a Sat stopover is much cheaper than a colleague's Y Mon-Friday fare.
