For the prices CX/KA charge for regional business flyers should expect a fully-flat bed.
But AA's A321 is skewedly premium (102 pax only) and if anything CX regional configs are going less and less premium. Still, I don't disagree with you at all that a flatbed configuration is 'doable'. In fact it's exactly the same plane that you mention but J class (which is the B/E Diamond product, also used by QR on their A320s/A330s/A340s and RJ(?), UA, CA,...etc). It's not the most comfy seat for a 16 hour flight but it will be wonderful to like Sapporo or Singapore. Very space saving config I think the pitch is like 50" or less and CX can fit the same number of seats across each row as they do now.
