Are you asking for advice as to whether you should upsell the ticket, or are you asking why fares are the rates you saw?

Not sure any of us can tell you whether you should spend more money. It's up to you to decide the value proposition.

Airline pricing and mysteries of revenue management are well above my pay grade at least.
