I quite liked the Elite class, that said, I've only traveled on exactly 1 leg on elite. Travelling SIN - SFO - SIN, SIN - SFO was severely delayed due to typhoon and I was put on UA to SFO. Only took SFO - TPE in elite, which was so much more comfortable than UA. I was op-up for TPE - SIN (either due to *G or the fare class I bought or both). Have not taken BR in normal economy class yet.

As my seat mate puts it, it is like the very old kind of international business class or domestic business class seats for few hundred dollars more from economy class.
