The legacy F without the big video screen provides much more room to maneuver.

Just a little ding in my book.

I've got 3 longhauls on LX next week, and am looking forward to the old F cabin.
My critics:

1) cabin has too many lights at night for sleeping really well
2) no place to put either glasses or water bottle (wood surfaces very slippery)
3) the front seat is not as comfortable as the old ottoman to stretch you legs
4) you have to go through galley to go from one side of cabin to other
5) massage function is a Joke
5) mattress is harder, and cushion inflater / deflater does not seem to change things

I want to punt things into perspective. Ne new F cabin is a great leap forward that consolidate Swiss as N1 product in Europe and among the top in the world.

my two cents
