I would try to negotiate for more, but I'd probably take money for a seat. That much may or may not have been enough, but I'd probably take the cash, ultimately.

I'm 6'3" and have an achey knee, so I value leg room, but I can do a couple of hours of minor discomfort. I flew from Sydney to LA in economy, I can do a lengthy flight in a tight seat. Whether or not I was sitting with someone else might affect the decision, and it maybe I'd be less inclined if I'd already been on a flight to connect to this one, but if I'm going on vacation and that money could be put towards a good meal or experience it might be worth it.

I'd always rather spend the money on the trip itself rather than the flight. As tempting as it might be, I can't imagine a scenario where I find it worth spending the premium for first class.

I'm only 6' but also have achey knees. Honestly though, it depends on the situation. If they were respectful in their approach I might not even take the money, just move. As you say, the flight is the flight, it isn't the trip. And yeah, it depends on who I'm traveling with.
