IMO DL J (specifically the new BE lie-flat seats) doesn't seem that far off from some of the lower end F products, at least in terms of hard product. Certainly they are towards the top of the heap when it comes to J. If it's the service you are after DL is probably not your best choice.

The difference might not be incredible, but if I am going to spend $6k and I have a choice to fly Delta BE or AA F, I will select AA (or UA) F. If I am already going to spend that much and I can spend the same or a little more to fly in true F on a European or Asian carrier, than I would not even consider Delta.
