The extra leg room does not necessarily help. I've often found other pax in the "premium" cabins to be some of the hardest to work with in terms of seat accommodations because they did, in fact, want extra recline and pay for it, although some of those F seats recline a bit too far IMHO.

IMO, the airlines are gaming the passengers. Recline creates an illusion of control in response to the airlines de-allocating space. I rarely recline unless I have a recliner in front of me who forces me to recline. 31" inch pitch is pretty tight and when you get a seatback in your face you are forced to recline.

Yes, It is pretty much the same whether coach, EC, or First, which is why I prefer bulkhead or exit if possible.
