I would expect to rank premium economy above domestic first class as well. Let's say in 2-4 years when this rolls out, you can choose fly ATL-LAX on a 757 in domestic first class, or on an internationally configured 777 in premium economy. It will probably be sold as "Comfort+" on domestic routes. I would pick premium economy if it meant getting the seat shown, even without the international amenities.
I believe AA frequent fliers can already seek out their new premium economy seat on domestic 787-9 routes.
I have flown Virgin Atlantic's premium economy product and every aspect of the hard and soft product were superior to domestic first in my opinion.
