CR-1 or e500s EWR-ORD-DEN-LAX-LIH

If everything cleared in advance, there is no doubt that a CR-1 would be perfect for my flights from EWR-LIH on Saturday.

That isn't the case, however.

EWR-ORD-DEN has cleared.
DEN-LAX-LIH (a thru-flight) has not cleared and is Y1F1.

Even though I can probably get the upgrade from DEN-LAX on Saturday (F9, NF3 right now, but unconfirmable becuase it is part of DEN-LIH), I am thinking of cancelling the CR-1.

As a 1P on T-class fare, my chances are just about zero for getting the upgrade to LIH. It seems to me then, that becuase less than half of my trip is confirmed right now and the the EWR-ORD-DEN flights are wide open (F9, NF9, T9) I should save the CR-1 for a future flight and just use e500s.

What say you?
