Are you hoping that no one sits next to you, and that you essentially have 2 seats? I flew in regular Y on the same plane for a 10 hour flight, and it was uncomfortable (I'm 5'8"). If you can grab an EC seat on the aisle, do it. So worth the cost if you are considering it at all. The drinks are nice, but not the reason to get the seat.
Essentially, DL is making EC like another class of service here, and you'll notice the difference in quietness (of people) and fewer pax walking by b/c business is right in front of you. IMO.
