the benefit that I would get (please let me know if this is right)
is if I bought latitude now and 2 upgraded seats are available for us (say in the next week - more than a month ahead of the departure) we would get upgraded if i used my eUpgrades since with latitude fares you can get upgraded before the 4 days before departure

Air Canada would have my money now if i could use my eUpgrades in combo with buying 2 latitude fares....
Latitude fare is fully refundable. If you wish to "gamble" that Tango Plus fare will not be sold out at T-4 days, you can buy a Latitude fare now to waitlist. If it does not clear at T-4 days, cancel to refund the Latitude fare to buy a new Tango Plus to wailist, but it will require more eUgrade credit though.
