The recline is worth it if you need to sleep, true. There is no difference in available bathrooms between PY and Y. And "better meals" is not saying much; the food is marginally better.
Washrooms varies based on plane. The 787
officially has the rear J washrooms available to PY pax, others like the 777HD and I think the 330 (if AC even still flies that) do not (
officially). The first meal on a longer flight is significantly better.
Now, given this looks like a 787, washrooms are available.

Also, there could be no-shows in PY, perhaps due to mis-connects or just changes in plans. So don't give up hope.
This is also a good point, plus you could also be the one to be moved up to J without copay or extra credits
