OF isn't that bad and on the late flight out of YYZ it's a pretty good sleep and I don't bother with the IFE.
On the west bound if you are with a partner the meal can be served accross from each other much more comfortably in OF and as for IFE just bring a iPad and load some movies. Most who can afford F can afford or already have an iPad and now it seems they load you up with Avios for the "inconvenience" of OF so
not so bad and to be honest if I had my choice it would be CW UD on a 744 and then CW on the 787 so I'm thrilled the 777 is off the route for the summer
