What are the differences, in your opinion?
Business can be one of two things hard product wise:
- The exact same seating arrangement (2x2) and equipment as coach, just in a car labeled "Business" OR
- 1x2 seating in a car shared with the Cafe Car but with greater recline, footrests and leather seating.

One benefit to Business is that sometimes the car is relatively empty while Coach can be really full. You also have a much better shot at a seat next to you empty. For the full length of your ride, I'd spend the $40.
