As a P, if you are prepared to pay Y,M,U fare to PEK (They are not unreasonable) and there is space available to upgrade upon purchase of the ticket, then this is an excellent choice of reward option. If there is no I space available and you rely on upgrading at the gate, you may be disappointed as there will likely be lots of SE and E trying to do likewise and they have priority over you.
