Upgrade Question

Hello, I have lowly Ruby/Gold status via AA. I have two Alaska seats booked using Q fares and are currently offered a paid upgrade to Premium Class. If I take the paid upgrade, am I eligible for a Gold upgrade to First if space is available? Or is the best I can do is hold out to see if I may get free upgrades to Premium? Another question - and sorry for being uninformed - they are offering me the upgrade for $55 each, but if I booked fresh tickets now, it would only be $20 more each. Since Q is non-refundable, is there any play here? Thanks so much for any insight shared.
