My answer would be 1)
Don't know about the pain point. Maybe $1000 per ticket. Time is money too. So if the flight takes 1-2 hours more, paying $300-400 per hour extra is IMO worth it.
LH seats are terrible in J, even in their 388. I would try to avoid. LX J seats are not much better. I would avoid as well.
