Does that seem like a good SWU bet if I pay the change fee?
Well, it's certainly better than zero. The only thing is, I don't think you will retain your upgrade timestamp if you do that. What does the MCE cabin look like? If it's empty, then yeah, you'll probably have a decent shot. If it's full, then you might have a problem.
