4. The seat belts could be a bit longer.
5. The armrest is angled the wrong way and thus useless.

Hopefully the new version of the seat will address some of these issues.
I agree with all of the above five complaints, but I would add more (was in 6J on AA51):
6. The right-hand arm rest is way too short and angles up sharply in the middle, making it uncomfortable in most positions. This feature, primarily, made me feel that the seat was rather narrow unless I scooted over a ways to the left edge (btw - i'm not wider than average, e.g. 37" waist)
7. there's less storage than the 772 since you can't put anything on or under the footrest.
8. the part of the table that's next to the window is not very useable, and the door to the cubbie where the Bose headset is stored opens right into a large portion of that table's area.
9. the 3-prong Bose outlet is VERY annoying!! I tried to plug in my own Bose QC15s with the Bose 2-plug adapter, but then there was all kinds of nasty artificial digital noise. weird.
