reasonable lodging?
Lodging was reasonable, with many options around $80-100 a night. Dinners averaged $25-30, but the portions were large and good quality. I had fish every night.

I had the old product on both flights over, and the new one on both return flights.

I didn't notice any difference between the IFE.
Yes, the red one is the newer product, and I also liked it much more. The seat reclined to full flat whereas the older had a small angle. There was also more privacy when fully reclined, you couldn't see the passenger next to you. Finally, the IFE was much quicker on the newer product and had a more extensive offering. The only thing I like more in the older cabin is the larger, more firm dinner table. The newer one is quite small and not as sturdy. I'll post more photos soon.
