But... on my regular every other week trip to Dallas... i've noticed a number of EXPs in Coach. (Designation on their BP) Since this is basically the only flight i really fly... do i really care about EXP if i'm not going to get the comp upgrade?

I know the eVIPs are worth a ton... but is it really that much?
Business centers upgrades are tough to get flying during peak hours (LGA, BOS, ORD, LAX). EXPs in coach are flying on discount tickets most likely as the success of YUP in those markets has put full fare flyers in F.
