In a bulkhead Y seat you could almost be in PE as you have a full view of the cabin - shame the champagne bottles are put away as the trolley passes the partition...

Also a slight correction, on BA PE has its own toilet on some planes, but not all.
The lack of curtain is a bit slack, but tbh without any PE toilets in front the problem of people coming through didn't occur. The bulkhead panels were closed on my flight after takeoff. I flew NZ PE SIN-AKL and the contrast in catering/drinks service was palpable, as it was a couple of steps removed from business. In short, PE is the only class I would pick NZ over SQ.
