As a proportion of the total number of Y seats on each flight, that doesn't sound totally unreasonable.
Actually, I am this type of passenger. I'm happy to pay more, except when I look at what CX has done with their Y+ at a prima facie level, there's not a lot of bang for my buck. Seriously, I'd have more leg room back at the emergency exit in Y
