I had never seen any US-Asia routes on BR's elite class cost only $300-$500 more than the lowest Y fares roundtrip, if so I would have tried it already, it is always at around $800-$1000 more, basically around $1500+ range while the cheapest Y ticket is about $800 or less.
Here is the UA thread for buy-ups: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...rture-tod.html

The 777 3-3-3 Y is not terrible if you are not too wide and get an exit seat. 3-4-3 might be a different story. The original spirit of Evergreen Deluxe was that "pay a little extra for a lot more" but now it is a whole different approach.
