I have the ticket on hold @ the current price until tomorrow night.
Secondly, I am not sure if I will be making the trip to IAH this weekend or not. Should I buy it now to be in the upgrade window longer, or wait until tomorrow night when I will know for certain. FYI it is a refundable ticket, so it should be no problem getting my $ back if I do get it now.
Thanks for the insights! ^

Unless you purchase a Y fare the agent will tell you that you need to wait until the EUA sweep. In this situation, I would grab a full Y fare (which can be different than other "full fares" such as H) after seeing what flights have availability up front.
