The seat is also very angular and I found it slightly uncomfortable, probably because I like to lounge and curl up a bit, as others on the EY forum have said they don't find it to be uncomfortable. This is purely subjective. Overall it's still an amazing product, I flew it twice, however on BOM-AUH-BOM so did not get to have a full night's sleep to fully review it.

One thing which could be a plus to some is that one does feel rather isolated. Even though one doesn't interact with other pax in F with EK one can see the other suites and the shape of the cabin, with EY I barely took note of other pax existing and the design makes one not really take note of where in the aircraft one is (I don't want to say disoriented, but the word neutral describes the product pretty well). If it's just a minor detour give it a shot, especially on a long leg. I flew to AUH for the weekend purely to try it out.
Then that is definitely a big negative for me as I also like to lounge and curl up. That is how I spend most of the time when not sleeping/eating (on a flight i.e. :-).

Not sure why couldn't they provide more recline as there seems to be enough space between the bench and the seat.
