I fly Qantas BC about three times annually LAX-SYD or LAX-AKL. QF miles count toward renewal of my AAdvantage elite status. Demand upstairs. Qantas BC seats, personal reading lights and video systems are just fine. Food is vastly inferior to U.S. domestic FC fare; I generally stop en route to the airport for 1) take-out sushi to eat during beverage service and 2) a couple of apples to preserve my sanity between QF's tasteless dinner and soggy breakfast. I paid once to upgrade to FC one way. I actually preferred the BC seat to the flat, narrow FC bed. Very little difference in food quality. I wouldn't pay to upgrade from BC to FC again.
