Yup. If MQMs are going to be 'on the bubble' for a medallion tier during the flight year, $800 r/t to get the extra qualifying miles (in addition to better seat, legroom, shoulder and elbow space and slightly better food) may be worth it.

I'm a fairly bulky guy, and while PS is a bump up in cost, as DL rolls it out more, I suspect I'll buy it. C+ window in a 2 seat pair is still pretty decent, where cost or lack of offering play in. I personally avoid KL longhaul metal for the narrow Y/Y+ seats.

Worth it for anyone other than me is too subjective to say with conviction, tho. (Note that the PS 50% bonus only applies to segments actually flown in P.E.
Interestingly, a friend flew a VS ticketed trip identical to mine, MAN-ATL-MSP, in VS Premium & DL C+, and he got the 50% mqm bonus atl-msp. Must be how VS sells and tickets the flight. He also got tons more RDMs for his trip.)

My wife and I just flew Delta's Premium Select ATL to CDG and back as part of a longer trip. It made a big difference to have more space. We got seats 20A and 20B which are a pair of bulkhead seats on the 777. There was plenty of room to stretch and to spread out all our stuff. The fare difference was about $450 round trip per person over coach.

Hmm, that doesn't look like "plenty of room to stretch", doesn't look like your legs are fully extended yet your sneaker is against the bulkhead wall. Even in coach one can normally fully extend one's legs under the seat in front.

I agree. I flew last summer AMS-DTW in PS in bulkhead. I felt cramped because as you said I couldn’t fully extend my legs. I am flying PS to INC-DTW and this time I am sitting in the third row, hoping for a better PS experience.
