The (sole, I think) 321 that they have is much better than the 320s - comes with a legrest and substantially more recline. I have no clue how they process the upgrades - have gotten on an empty-ish and a full flight, but also missed on a flight that was full in coach and had one seat open in biz.

I'll report back on my success or otherwise. When is your CMB-SIN flight?
Do read through their complicated set of access rules! No Serendib, only Serendiva for shorthaul biz.
