I did a CX Premium Economy trip last year LAX-HKG-SIN and back; it was not unbearable; be sure to get a bulkhead seat if you can so you can have a leg rest.

Even at a 2c valuation that's still $3.5k worth of miles for a $2.1k payment. Or looking at it another way it's another long-haul J award.
Unless I get word of some ATL-ZHR business travel that may be happening this summer I will go ahead and buy that CX trip and be done worrying about it.
