SQ PE worth it?

PE on SQ is mostly over-priced when they try to get away with 2 times or more the price of Y. I would consider buying PE only if the price is 1.2 to 1.3 times over Y.
Recently I flew SIN-FRA return on it, and had some miles that were expiring. What I singularly like about them is the 2-3-2 configuration. It allows me to sit window side with my wife (I've a hobby of shooting dusks and dawns), without worrying about having to climb over someone on the aisle seat to get to the toilet. The additional space is nice but not critical to me. The front seating is helpful if I have a tight connection at the destination (the immigration queues can be long).
Am booked for PE on JL next month on a red-eye SIN-CTS. It costs only 20% more than Y (i.e. +S$250 return). I think that's pretty good value. But I'll need to confirm it when I get onboard.

SIA's PEY are arranged in 2-4-2 seating across and not 2-3-2. However some airlines like JAL, EVA and China Airlines etc on their new aircrafts are 2-3-2 which meant that thier PEY width is wider than that of SQ. Furthermore, the meals served as like for Qantas are better and specific for PEY unlike SQ which are basically same meals as EY.

Have been keen to try out SQ’s PE but reading lots of reviews (including this thread) is now making us think twice about it...

The A350 middle PEY seats here:
You can just see the middle armrests on SQ A380 PEY in the next pic. These can be raised too:
So while you cannot have 4 in a row in PEY, you can at least raise the middle armrests in SQ PEY.
A few more pics on the 4 seater middle bank of the A350 in a TR here.

This is the case for both A380 and A350 in SQ PEY.

I asked about this because of a recent ULR flight. I can confirm that this aircraft does not have armrests that can be raised in PEY - anywhere

Also I didn't find PEY seats to be very wide. All the space saved from one fewer seat per row seems to be taken up by the console, drinks holder etc at each seat
I have also found the legrest of this product quite pointless. The fact they extend out from the bottom of the seat cushion means my legs don't touch the leg rest at all

Thank you so much for all your replies! I actually changed my travel plans and I won't go to Christchurch anymore (Costa Rica instead so no SQ but KLM unfortunately). After reading your replies, my thoughts are confirmed. For me, SQ's PE is not worth the upgrade unless the price difference is minimal. SQ's Y product is already good, meals are basically the same, no dedicated toilets and I think there are airlines with a much better PE product such as China Airlines with its seat configuration in 2-3-2 across on their A350's. Better to fly Y and save the extra bucks for a business class experience!Last edited by LeisureFlyer; 18 April 2019, 08:46 PM.

ex-SIN yes, other place may not necessary. I pay decent PE price for BKK-SIN-HND vv. The same amount of price I can only get discounted eco ex-SIN.
But I fully agree I will not even pay more than 25% for PE, mainly for the miles reason.....
I got empty seat on both SIN-HND and HND -SIN but nothing I can do unless to put the stuff therevisit my blog
