Jeff, Here's an off the wall suggestion for PMU's on Int'l itins...
One PMU to upgrade YBM
Two PMU's to upgrade HQSK
Three PMU's to upgrade LUT
I typically do six TATL r/t's a year, and being self employed I buy out of my own pocket, so I buy LUT's and have never been able to use a PMU. So I'd rather burn all six this way and at least get a comfortable seat a couple of times.
