At least I think we would have been. Didnt need it luckily.

I didn't mind not having the upgrade option. We all sat together in exit rows which was still fun.
OTOH, it could be very hard to get 8 seats on the same flights if there are IROPs. Splitting the PNR might get everyone to the destination faster.
