It’s not unusual for aircraft to overtake each other along the production line. Could be due to late arrival of parts or issues with production. 9V-SHA rolled out onto the Flightline about the same time as 9V-SHB but took a longer time to start her test flights. It just so happened that A was overtaken by B this time. 9V-SKH was delivered before 9V-SKG previously during the production of the A380s. No issues at all.

Singapore Airlines A350-900ULR creates premium economy glut
In many cases SIA is offering cheaper premium economy fares than regular economy fares on the same routes for the same dates of travel – an unsustainable scenario that could lead to adjustments in SIA’s A350-900ULR operation as early as next year.

Some options I can think of:- Introducing regular economy seats in A359ULR?
- Expanding business class cabin and reducing premium economy seat count?
- Shuffling of frequencies?

SGD1700 is about how much other airlines charge for flying from SIN to NYC in Economy. If customers are not biting at this price point, maybe the demand isn't there at all. Offering economy is not likely to help.
The writing is on the wall if this goes on. From a corporate perspective, converting the plane to have Suites and Business may do wonders for their revenue numbers.
