I personally would spring for F, since I earn at a brisk pace so don't see 12.5K as a huge extra cost for the step up to F. You may see things differently, and C is quite nice as well.

You can't go wrong either way.

It hinges on how quickly you earn and what else you might burn the miles on. My wife and I are flying HND-SFO next month in F, but like VNA we have lots of miles to burn.

FWIW, it sounds like the HND F lounge is quite nice, though not in the stellar league of top F lounges in the world. OTOH, be aware that on this midnight HND-SFO-HND route you just get light meals with limited options for dinner from JL rather than the full-fledged F meal service that most other good Asian airlines provide for transpacific (including late night) flights.
