Tell me more about Premium Economy then... if you could bid and maybe get lucky to win for $300 I might be willing to pay that out of pocket. Those look like quite a bit more leg room.
Premium Economy is pretty much like domestic first in the US, Wider seat and more recline. I haven't travelled in them since The Business revamps but I think they also have a footrest. If you're eligible for the Plusgrade I've snaffled it for $400 as the lowest bid before. From memory I think the food was economy food but you got served first, there was an amenity pack as well a slightly bigger pillow and blanket.
As you're a Delta flyer, think of it as being the difference between Comfort+ and Domestic First.
