I had my first experience in the new seats on a 752 recently coming back from CPH, having flown the 772 seats several times between IAH and LHR.
The difference in dimensions is slight, but noticeable if you're 6' or taller. At 6' 1", I sleep very comfortably in the 772 seat when flattened out, but had a bit of a squeeze on the 752. It wasn't enough to be uncomfortable, but I could tell the difference.
I don't mind the smaller footwell/ottoman holes in the non-bulkhead seats. I always take my boots off and wear a soled pair of slippers on long flights, and can usually fit them into the little cubby comfortably (size 12).
