Like what???

*I THINK I know what you are thinking, but would be curious to hear your ruminations...
I guess it all depends on what you are going for with domestic F. If you just want the legroom there are a couple options that offer comparable space (36-38") in Y. If you need the free drinks just pay the $6 per and save the couple hundred on the ticket. You still come out ahead. Seat width is harder to do comfortably but you can get two Y seats.

If you are buying domestic F for the pampering and food then I think you are just living in a dream world.
