In F, the aisle is skewed for the 1-2 seat layout so the overhead bin is deeper on one side--a little bonus since otherwise the bins would fill up really, really fast.
With 12 seats in F, the 175 is a great ride compared to the CRJ-700.
The right-hand side is fine, but the left is pretty small. Fine for coats and maybe anything that would fit under a seat; useless for luggage. You definitely want to be towards the front of group 1 if you're in first.
