Having flown both seats, the AA suite is far more private as it has a larger shell enclosing it, better padding, more storage and of course better IFE content.

Let's not forget that US is the airline that doesn't activate the IFE system when flying domestically because they are too stingy to get adequate licensing from the content providers. It's non-sense like this that AA pax don't want to be a part of through this stupid merger.
This is incorrect. The business-class seat in the new AA A321 is made by B/E Aerospace. The first-class seat on the new AA A321, and the business-class seat on the AA 77W (and US A330) are made by Sicma/Zodiac, as is stated in the link you provided.
