I'll probably look into LH's Y+ in the future when I don't have vouchers to upgrade to J and need status miles to maintain E+ across the Atlantic.
FYI, at the moment, the closest product to Comfort Class (price and seat) is Icelandair's Saga Class. I don't really consider this a J product but it's priced at around $2200 JFK-CDG (you can do a stopover in KEF at no charge)

I guess that LH is really appreciating the TK decision and not only a few customers will defect towards LH.Especially those with a M&M + M&S status.
When it comes to miles I wouldn't hang my hopes to high. E.g. LH P Fare is not eligible for miles on M&S since 2012.
I think you might earn a max.of 100% at the most for M&S but definitely not 150%.
