I had the money to spare at the time and enjoyed the extra room and comfort more than anything. For the flight home - for me definitely worth it as I actually got some sleep, and never do on the overnight flight home. The food was nice, and there was always plenty of food or drink on offer both times I've upgraded.
For me it just made the whole flight much more comfortable and it seemed to go faster. If money was tight I wouldn't do it. It also helped that I'd gotten relatively cheap airfares at the time to begin with, so the upgrades still made it cheaper than Garuda economy (since I travel for more than 14 days and can never get those really cheap Garuda fares anyway).
