Just wondering if I should just pay the upgrade fare and be done with it. They are willing to pay for the upgrade since this will probably be their last trip across country.

Thanks in advance for the advice/success rate!
If the upgrade is a must, pay for it. Chances of PP clearing on that route are low, especially around May, when there is heavy graduation traffic. Additionally, paying now, guarantees them seats together.
