First UA flight, upgrade offer - worth it?

Good afternoon, after several years as a gold/platnium flyer on Delta i've recently moved to New Jersey and now will be flying United more often. (put in this morning for a status match but that wont clear for 7-14 days so i'll be doing this trip w/ no status).

Yesterday I purchased a one way ticket EWR-PHX on United. It's a dinner flight on a 757-200 which appears to have flat beds in the front of the plane. Was offered an upgrade for $267. A couple of questions.

- How does this upgrade cost compare to what others have seen
- Is there any chance this upgrade cost goes down on the day of departure?
- Will I have the full 'polaris' experience with enhanced service and food/beverage? Or will this just be typical F service but with a lie-flat seat.

I have no status at the moment and this is a W fare. Thanks.
