Personally, on LX or LH, I would never pay even 1 cent more just to have a possibility to get an upgrade. The probability to get on is so low that it's a waste of money.
for me ZRH-BCN / BCN-ZRH is one of the most "op-up-able" route, probably just after WAW-ZRH-WAW. Also TLV-MUC-TLV have a 100% opup history
But I'd agree - wouldn't pay a cent to increase that chance (multiply that tiny cost by even tinier probability FTL for getting that upgrade - going full C is going to be way cheaper) - too short leg. US / Asia - different discussion.
good luck!
