Thought I would provide an update to the group. Nothing is finalized yet but..
I recently signed up for the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card to get the $500 sign up bonus. The $500 bonus equated to 50,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points which fortunately transfer 1:1 to United's Mileage Program.
I learned that I can upgrade to Business Class (with the lie flat beds!!) for 60,000 points (which I would have in my account after factoring in already earned United points from work travel) plus $1,200.
This obviously is a lot more than the $400 to upgrade to United Economy Plus, but I am thinking of splurging. Given how long the flights are and that I would really be able to sleep if I were able to lay down and take a sleeping pill, I think it is worth it. I think I would feel very rested upon arrival in both ways. I think Economy Plus would be nice with the extra leg room, but I am doubtful on whether or not I would be able to sleep well in the upright position.
