I did look at the one way cost difference from J to F and it's looks like it would be a great redemption but just curious what y'all thought.
I've flown NH F twice, and I've never flown J.
F was great. The "crowded" time, the cabin was booked 5 of 8, and service was stellar. The other time, it was me, my friend, and another guy. The service was stellar.
My YVR-HND flight is currently J1. I don't think service is going to be nearly as good as a full F cabin, not to mention food/drinks/seat/lounge/etc.
I would personally upgrade it (hence why I did), but I wouldn't use UR points for it. I think I value a UR point at more than 2 Aeroplan points (especially given my balance), so I'd rather drop 50k Aeroplan than 25k UR.
You could try coupon connection (if you're eligible) to see if anyone else might be willing to offer up 25k UA miles.
I'm a little annoyed I didn't route through SFO/LAX for my outbound, as I would have upgraded both ways.
