Or (2) book the exact DXB-LHR J class flights that I want (on the A380), and use my miles on a nice watch from Emirates High Street (about £100 in value, in return for c.£30 of shipping and taxes)

Personally I am tempted by the watch, but what would you do?
Yeah, the non-reclining F is a joke and a shame for Emirates (six seats across ...).
