It looks like the trend for business class is to move the standard to almost first class levels. When BA were rolling out their original CW flat beds, other airlines were still rolling out cradle seats or slopey 'lie flat' seats.

We'll see how BA copes with the competitors finally catching up.

I think BA offers the most important aspects of a business class product. As BA have a higher density layout they can compete on price, at the moment they don't need to as they're still one of the few airlines to guarantee (barring a few disappointing exceptions mostly with Moscow) a flat bed on so many routes, but once more airlines roll out their flat bed products BA are in a better position to compete on price.
But as mentioned in other threads before does BA really compete on price? I think the net seats under some of these new j class does not take up as much room as people think
