If I had previously bought an E+ seat, would that be refunded if I bought the upgrade?
Only you can answer question as to whether it is worth it. Depends on how much you value J and what alternate uses you have (or need) for 550 USD or 20,000 miles.
There are numerous threads here discussing for and against - there are many who would take this upgrade for that money and many who will not.
