I know some planes have the new Polaris business class but I'm not sure if my plane will have it. Thoughts anyone?
Yes.
No, it won't have the new seat, but it'll have the soft product.

If you can get R, I'd do it. Otherwise, they'll hold your $500, you'll probably never clear and then you may or may not have to contact UA to get it refunded after your trip.
