I do quite a bit international travel, my husband is a FF with 3 airlines, flying 100k miles+ a year.
1st class is never worth it unless you either get an upgrade from biz, someone else pays for it, or money doesn't matter (means: if you don't have to work for it). If money really doesn't matter charter a private jet.
The main pain in the ass in these days is not so much the lack of Dom Perignan during the 7-12 hours on an international flight, it is mainly delays, delayed luggage, and nazi security guards, at the airport, etc. and from all that you going to suffer, no matter if you pay 600 bucks for coach, 4 k for biz, or 10k for first.
Business has advantages over coach, mainly because you can sleep and get there well rested, so you don't piss away valuable time on biz trips. If you sleep anyway, who gives a shit if you have 6 flight attendants caring for 12 passengers in first? A bigger seat, OK, that is flatter.
Also, there is a big difference between First Classes. First with Singapore or Emirates is a trip, fist with AA is no big deal. Delta doesn't have first on international flights anyway.
No, flying First and having to pay for it with your own, hard earned cash is not worth it.
