I will definitely keep using this forum, everyone has been so helpful :-)
Much appreciated!

This is certainly a legitimate perspective, and a good way to look at the decision. But other perspectives are legitimate as well. Another way of looking at it would be to ask what you would do with the 20k miles saved by obtaining an economy ticket, and to decide if the advantages of business class on a very long flight outweigh how the 20k would otherwise be put to use.
