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.
The only reason to FCM on a route that short is to open up the SDC gates. I frequently pay for FCM on ~2 hour flights just because I want to be able to hop on whatever flight is leaving when I get to the airport on my way home. That's worth quite a bit to me.
The seat/drinks/food? Nice, but ultimately meh. Perhaps on flights over 4 hours that comes into play.
