- On the other hand, many people who purchase D1 now will be happy to save a couple of thousand and sit in PE. Additionally D1 seats will go up in price as supply dwindles, so it may be about the same if not slightly better than it is now

Thoughts?

The former. W has already been available on this route for quite some time via JV partner VA. Price sensitive customers have already been able to buy the product they want. Price elastic customers will still spend $$$ to buy "suites". Though personally I'd still pick VA J on this route.
