Not sure if this was an inventory management screw up or what, but 15 upgrades (including wife and myself) cleared at the gate.
Just out of curiosity, on a flight that short what difference does the point in time that the upgrade clears make to the flight experience?

Empirically false.

(even if you allow for the rather curious definition of "window" that is in evidence in this thread)
