I've flown WT+ a few times and have some flights coming up in it on the A380.
Usually try and grab the first row so plenty of legroom although you lose out of the footrest and the ability to use the IFE from the off.
Seats are no more comfortable than WT+ to be honest. Still get a sore backside from sitting in them for ages as they're quite firm.
Food wise, don't usually bother so can't say anything here.
Don't need a newspaper.
Menus could be classed as a nice touch. Same with pre-departure drinks.

The slight possibility of being upgraded to CW is a good thing about it (or use of Avios to upgrade), as are 90TP each way compared to maybe 20-30? for WT (and not getting 25% of the miles). If prices aren't too far apart, I may well go for this. £1000+ to say the east coast Vs. £400 in Y and it's Y for me.
Picked up some ex-ARN/GOT WT+ in the recent sale for around £470+ so more than happy with that pricing.

Got CW on my next 787-9 flight. 1A last time so getting to see what's different.
WT+ booked originally and then used a GUF2 to upgrade to CW.
