Fair points, although one does need to bear in mind for the adults that it's a 4 hour flight and I2 economy has 28 inch seat pitch (there is a bit more legroom on the aircraft with the new slim seats). I2 business class is same as BA at 30 inches, though the bulkheads are slightly less roomy than BA's. Depending on aircraft, there can be as few as 6 seats in I2 business class.
I do the odd flight in business class on I2, but more often these days I take an exit row seat in economy (obviously not an option for the OP with an infant).
