I take it there is enough travel to justify it?

Between the feeder traffic from SFO and the ability to carry more cargo, yes. Cargo is huge to LIM.

This will be a domestic 763 so I am interested to see if Continental continues to sell this as a BusinessFirst market or return it to an EUA (elite upgrade) route like it used to be.

Man I just got into Lima on the Red-Eye... too bad they aren't changing the flight times...

I'm weird, I like the flight times. The flight down is late enough to get in a decent day's work and the return is a true red-eye (unlike the 2.5 hour "red-eyes" from the west coast) and I get to sleep.

What I'm a tad upset about is the lack of 110AV power on the UA 767-300s.

I used to fly to Lima on AA from Miami, and hated the fact they used domestically configured planes in an international market. I quit flying in the front because it wasn't worth the money - the back was just as comfortable at one third the price.
