They're very affordable. I remember getting a 6 credit SFO-YVR pass for about $1600, when a Flex round-trip (i.e. 2 credits worth) was $1400. This was 3 hours before departure of the outbound, but still. I needed to go, and it was $270 per credit with an instant confirmation into full J, versus $700 for Flex, with no R space.

Thanks for the excellent feedback everyone! Really appreciate hearing authentic experiences rather than relying on vague or low-content "reviews" on YouTube and the like. As it turned out, a multi-city booking on AC with YYZ-HND-ITM outbound (as we are spending first week in Kyoto, so a shorter train ride from Osaka) and HND-YYZ inbound came out to $1300 per person in Tango, which seems to be amazing value considering a simple YYZ-HND return is about $1550! PY was still about $2100 with this itinerary, so quite a price jump. Will look into a fare-up or LMU if available, and otherwise settle for Preferred seats in Y.
YYZ-HND-YYZ equates to approx. 12888 miles return. For AQM, Tango fare will give you 6444 and PY 16110. Not sure if this is relevant to you.
