Using 1.5 to 2 cpm for miles, equivalent to $950 to $1,100 and possible chance of upgrade.

earns x2 PQM
Earns $1320 PQDs and therefore more RDMs (assuming you are a 1K - 14,520 RMDs -- and at 1.5 to 2 cpm -- worth $200 to $300)


So roughly $1000 and a chance of an upgrade vs roughly $1000 net and a Guarantee seat & PQMs + PQDs

The P fare is a no brainer.

However thinking Polaris seat is a sure thing in your timeframe is a risk.
