If these seats are all along the lines of 17E, that's great, a genuine improvement ^^^^ -- more seats in the front rows and exit rows for those that pay the most.
Enjoy. You can also look forward to fewer frequencies or higher fares as HBO becomes a less attractive proposition and a proportion of passengers switch to competitors, reducing the sustainability of BA schedule or pushing them to further lower HBO fares at the expense of those already "expensive tickets" to ensure drive bookings back up.

I know. It is also sadly comical how the oldest trick in the trade, "divide and conquer", never fails to perform.
