I also find your reasoning on going from Y to PE bizarre.
I have taken LH on several trips recently, we always get decent seats assigned. I am not counting on an exit row with 4. If I was traveling alone I would go J or PE and not think of Y.
Why is it weird to be willing to take decent Y flights for $4400, but - since the other options don't have decent seats (10x 777) or are on airlines where I will not get decent seats - and the only other
decent *A Y option would be $6600 - to be willing to pay $8400 to go PE? Put another way, I'm not willing to pay a delta of $4K ($1k/person) to go from a decent Y to PE, but I am willing to pay $1800 ($450/person) to do so.
Prices are not fixed, and the extra you have to pay to go up a level is relevant, or at least is to me.
