My AA EP friend just flew MCE HK-US on AA after missing their upgrade and they said the physical seat was the same very narrow, uncomfortable seat in the rest of the cabin, but the seats were spread out a little more for more space - but if your butt does not fit comfortably in that narrow seat, MCE won't help you.

Maybe this is an opportunity to join the rest of the industry and offer a real Premium Economy product that is 2-4-2 (oops, that's just like BF) with a physically larger and more comfortable seat, more legroom and better catering.
