The price difference when I was searching today was $600 so trivial if I'm guaranteed a flat bed. But if business is also lie flat these days then I might as well save the money. Feel free to PM me a link etc. if the question is too stupid to address in the thread. Thanks.
The answer depends on your definition of "flat." DFW-EZE and MIA-EZE are both served by 777s (the old 777-200 ones, not the new 77W/777-300). Business is angled-lie flat. Almost horizontal, but at a slight ~10 degree angle. First is flat flat.
Here's a link to descriptions. There are other positive aspects to First, so it might be worth $600, but that's up to you:
