Yes, an M would be hundreds more than a P. And would book into PN.

I think there are at least four potential buy-up pricing models that may be applied to a given reservation:

1. Buy-up to full F/J.
2. Buy-up to Y/B/M.
3. Buy-up to UP/UPDI.
4. Random upgrade price, e.g., $299 on ps, $839 on TPAC, etc.

The gross unfairness referenced in this thread is that in many instances elites don't seem to get #4 (or if they do, it's at a higher price than what non-elites are offered).
