So for two r/t business class tickets, I was looking at $1500 + (cost of two V-class tickets).

Do you think it might have to do with the dates? Perhaps an award redemption was not available for those dates so she looked at upgrades? But why would upgrades cost as much/more than a redemption??
you were given incorrect information....i would suggest talking to a different agent....
