I feel that this is a good way to maximize revenue without the customer feeling screwed over. If the upgrade clears they pay, if it doesn't clear they don't.
With the upfaring to W or higher, if the upgrade doesn't clear, they are out the extra $ and no upgrade.
The more options we have the better. Perhaps the co-pay can be waived or reduced for GS and 1K.
^^ Like others have noted, I won't play the W lottery, but I'm willing to pay a little more in order to get my SWU confirmed.
