VS166 MBJ - LHR Upgrade to Upper Class Worth It?

Hey everyone, Looking for some advice on whether it's worth upgrading to Upper Class for an upcoming Virgin Atlantic flight from Montego Bay (MBJ) to London Heathrow (LHR). Here’s the situation:
  • We’ve already paid £150 per person to upgrade from Economy to Premium Economy (PE).
  • Virgin is offering an additional upgrade to Upper Class for £350 per person.
  • That would make it a total of £500 per person to go from Economy to Upper Class.
The flight is a red-eye, departing at 10 PM and arriving at 2 PM the following day, so comfort is definitely a factor. We're also considering the overall value of the experience—lounge access, meals, seat comfort, service, and any other perks. For those who’ve flown Upper Class on the 787-9, what’s your verdict? Is the extra £350 worth it compared to Premium Economy, especially for a flight of this duration and timing? Or should we wait and test our chances with the bid link for a potentially cheaper upgrade? Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
