I don't mean to steer you one way or the other, but it might help to answer this question... would you be upset or disappointed if you spent an additional $200 and don't get the upgrade in your window but have to do the upgrade dance at the gate anyway?

Frankly, with the way US has been managing upgrade inventory lately, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if all upgrades are cleared at the gate (especially on the transcon portion)... Just a thought....

PS - nice to see yet another person from DE here
Thanks!
