Post Premium economy vs main cabin extra

Advice needed for a traveler who doesn't travel often.
I have booked a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland for the 10k race they are having in November, so I will arrive Friday and leave Tuesday. I am short on vacation time, so the flight over will be a long 16 hours from Dallas (after connecting from MCO). Ditto on the flight back. I have been thinking of spending the extra to go premium economy.
So for you fliers who have been on the Boeing 777 300 ER, is the difference in row 16-18 vs row 21 (for example, main cabin) worth the price difference?
Its just me flying but we are looking at a difference in cost of about $1075 (econ with better seat upgrade on the DFW/HK flights only) vs $1517 for premium.
Thank you for your thoughts/advice!
