How is this any different from someone high on the UG list checking in two hours before departure? I often wait until I'm certain that I won't need to try a SDC to check in because I've found those are easier for the agents to process if I'm not checked in. This often means I check in 1-2 hours for a flight.

Plus, if regular F seats are worth $1/min, the lie-flats must be worth some additional premium. This sounds like a great score.
