It's of course a matter of opinion, so there's no point in arguing. But I find the BA seat with its full recline and "ottoman" by far more comfortable both for sitting and for sleeping. It's more private (if you don't sit in a one-seater on AY), it's less cramped, it feels more like a real bed, albet a narrow one. And the tray table is usable – with the AY seat you need to sit fully upright in order to operate and use the tray table. Since I'm not dining in a church I end up using the side table for eating and even the FA's don't blink an eyelid when I ask them to put the tray there – they seem used to it.
