Thing is, time value is not equivalent. 3 hours of pampering does not offset 3 hours of torture.
For myself, a 50m2 suite does not provide any more appreciable/realized comfort than does a 25m2 room. Not as much as going from 35" pitch to 70" of space.
At standard body build I don't 'suffer' in Y seats - did it all in my first 5 years of serious flying. But I have physical restlessness and if I'm comfortable with the price of premium, why put up with the discomfort?
Booked companion J seats for my gf next month hoping to flip her to the dark side. Hope she doesn't get addicted to it too much too fast
