While SWUs have been much maligned here, I have personally found great use for them over the past few years, mostly on very full BE transcon flights where I was able to jump to the top of the wait list multiple times and end up in lie-flat territory.
Until now, I never had the occasion to use an SWU for international travel since I've always booked first (not on DL of course) or business. However, for an upcoming flight to SVO, I was able to get what I considered a reasonable M-Class fare and use the SWUs at the time of ticketing.
I still have more left so we'll see if they turn out to be equally as useful.
