AirTran wants me to upgrade my flight to ATL to business class for $69. Anyone ever flown biz on AT? What is the upgrade like?

I flew AirTran Business Class to and from San Francisco from Atlanta last summer. The seats were a lot better/bigger, you get to board/deplane first, and they serve you snacks/drinks the whole trip. We got a deal on the tickets, from a relative who had purchased some at a silent auction, so it actually cost less than coach and was a lot nicer. If it was for a short 1-2 hour trip, it might not be worth it, but for a cross country flight it was great.

Also, you get a special check-in line at the airport. The day we left there must have been 100 plus people in the regular line and NO ONE in the Business Class line. We were checking bags, which was free because of being Business Class, and what would have taken maybe an hour took about 5 minutes.
