Having previously flown HA's "first class" between SYD & HNL I would say it's not worth the extra cost in terms of the benefits provided. This past February we flew return in Economy and upgraded to "economy comfort" and apart from not getting the benefit of the first class meals & complimentary drinks, it was very copeable.
Prior to departting Sydney we had dinner at the airport and for the return we purchased fresh wraps, salads & snacks from the nearby ABC shop.
One other thing, if flying HA in economy it's worth purchasing your own headsets as the ones they hand out are the in-ear buds which are terrible.
