On the other hand, it's a 1 hour flight and I feel like even a middle seat in the back would be adequate for such a minimal time in the air.

I would never spend that kind of $ to upgrade on such a short flight even if it meant sitting in the last row middle seat.

If the flight boards late and/or you have a lazy FA who doesn't do a PDB you'll be lucky to get two drinks in. You're better off spending the money on a SkyClub day pass.
