Well, 50% to save 3-4 hours on a 12-hour flight is something I would consider. But remembering this is a VC10 nostalgia thread, I think the differences are more like M.86 vs M.82, which would be more like saving half an hour, and it would probably be better for the planet, and the pax blood pressure, to save that on quicker and more civilized arrangements on the ground (or, spend the 50% on an upgrade).
