Depending on the carrier, you'd be hard pressed to find anything resembling any 737 seat on the 747 UD (ex: DL's 1-1 J config upstairs)...
Granted, but that is precisely my point: it's the seat that matters, not the cabin. The upper deck of a 747 is, for all practical purposes, a 737. (And a 737 that's harder to get into, because you have to go up that winding staircase. If winding staircases make you feel special, so be it.) If you can get the same seat somewhere else, it will be the same experience. As the post after this says:
