I was checking with VS regularly over the last few months for reward availability on an upgrade back from Shanghai (outbound already UC).

Alas nothing showed up, however on checking revenue costs yesterday I noticed a peculiar oddity that PE was showing up as LESS than Y. I called VS - little bit of keyboard tapping, hold music and callbacks later, I was quoted £151 for both of us to upgrade (without miles). I was also told I'd get the £80 back we paid for the extra legroom seats, so all in all it will cost us £35 each! Bargain - I think?

We are travelling with family but they are flying on different dates a few days out. When they checked theirs it would cost them almost £600 extra each... That's the airline lottery for you :-D

Thanks - seemed like an offer we couldn't refuse!

Incidentally can anybody reccommend good PE seats on the dreamliner? Only the middle rows are available and currently in the back row as I like to recline without offending people behind me. I'm assuming there's not enough space for people to congregate behind us in the reclining space?

Probably because Y is the full fare economy (but also fully flexible which is why you were able to change/refund so easily). Most economy you cannot do that.
A full fare PE (W fare) would cost you a lot. I am guessing you got an H or K fare which is a lot cheaper but less flexible.
