Difficult to place a value on it. Unless you need the points/baggage allowance, or you've already got STAR status for whatever frills you can generate, then the business-class experience can't be worth more than the low tens of euros. I'd give EUR10
I'm a *G so most of the "perks" I receive in the back as well. If they don't even do seat blocking, 10-20 Euros for a 3 hour flight sounds about right - perhaps a bit more depending on the miles I'd receive.
Today the price difference is up to 220 Euros (travelling with my SO, meaning 440 for 2 tickets) there's no way I'd consider paying that much more for no discernible difference in the product...
