The new J looks nice, but I'm still left wondering why the didn't just use the same seats as on the 77W. I'm also still a bit miffed about the loss of F.
I also don't understand why they didn't just go with the popular Cirrus seat. By my count the seat density is only slight higher than the 77W (52 seats in 13 rows on 77W vs. 45 in 11+1 seat in row 6 on 777). They only get one extra seat in the new config vs. the Cirrus seat.

The Cirrus seat is really, IMO, the best business class in the sky. It is the perfect blend of privacy, space, comfort and layout. Just flew CX in the same seat and slept great.
