So the seat is more or less the same? That would help make the loss of F palatable a bit. It looks to be the basic seat. Just a more crowded cabin.
Not at all... F has wide seats arranged 1-2-1 and tons of leg room, while SS8 is 2-2-2 and has much less real estate. SS8 does close the gap towards F.
F > SS8/SS7 > SS6 > NEO > the rest.
