I think the EWR-MAN segments are slightly easier than EWR-BHX segments because the MAN route is usually equipped with 764 or 762 while BHX has only a 752.

I am still waiting for my upgrade to clear the end of this month for a EWR-BHX leg and today the agent said, "there aren't many seats left"...

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I haven't lost the hokey lottery more than once, but when it did happen I was pretty steamed...especially since the difference between BV and HKY was about $300.
