Pay for Sky Couch or hope for Twin Seat?

Hi all,

I'm hoping you can help give me some advice with a "How long is a piece of string?" question.

My wife and I are flying NZ2 to London on the 25th of November and we're tossing up various upgrade options to make the long flight more enjoyable. We're both Jade and booking class T.

The options are:
1. Make a One Up bid to PE on one of the Legs
2. Pay to upgrade to Sky Couch
3. Cross fingers to buy for a Twin Seat at check in

One Up's a bit risky and I'm nervous about paying ~$1200 to upgrade to Sky Couch and finding that the plane's fairly empty. Based on the numbers below and your experiences, can anyone give me advice?

Do I bite the Sky Couch bullet and guarantee an extra seat?
Or risk Twin Seat given that the flight looks to have quite a few empty economy seats?

NZ2 AKL to LAX:
C4 D4 Z4 J4 U7 E7 O7 A7 Y7 B7 M7 H7 Q7 V7 W7 T7 L1 S0 G0 X0 K0 P0
NZ2 LAX to LHR:
C4 D1 Z0 J0 U7 E7 O6 A0 Y7 B7 M7 H7 Q7 V7 W7 T7 L7 S7 G0 X0 K0 P0

Thanks!
