I've noticed a difference re: humidity and cabin pressurization, FWIW. YMMV.

I will say that the rotation is interesting and quite indicative of FTers knowing next to nothing about how UA's corporate strategy will work. To be clear, that's not necessarily because people here don't know any better...I think Jose has been wrong about things every now and then.
I don't want to make this a debate about sUA and sCO seats, but IME, I like some things about each seat. The sCO one is horrible for tall people unless you score one of the rows with the wider foot wells; the sUA one does feel more cramped width-wise.
