I think you should be glad that you did not waste those 50000 miles for that PE seat - it really is not worth that amount of miles even if you have unlimited miles in your account - as it seems that you had a bulk head seat in Eco which is actually more or less the same PE from leg space point of view.
Am saying this after again back from a worthless PE seat experience (I just fly it because it is not out of my own pocket and for the guaranteed 100% miles or more).
Though going back to the topic, this is rather crazy to ask for so many miles for a really 10% better seat/amenities compared to Y.
