IST-KGL 8:50 hours on 737-900?

Any opinions on the 737-900 for a longhaul flight? Other alternative is Brussels airlines. I assume for M class it wont make much difference on either carrier, but from the pictures it seems that the J class difference is huge! Flatbeds on SN, 6 inch recline on TK ... Can anyone confirm?

Edit: Yes, you are right, 6 and a bit hours without the stop over. I mixed it up with 8:50 on BRU. Any comments on the aircraft though?

On business mid-haul on TK is perfectly serviceable. Large recliner seat with decent service.

The TK product is perfectly fine on a daytime flight. But it is far away from angled flat, let alone full flat - which is what SN offers. KGL, like most African destinations, involves an overnight flight in one direction (KGL-IST is overnight).

Thanks guys. Booked on SN, which also has a much more reasonable arrival (and departure) time to (and from) Kigali than TK.
