I actually hope they don't go too much towards an EY style design. I've flown EY F and agree with previous posters, I found the seat to be surprisingly uncomfortable for longer durations, and even the "bench"/"bed" not super comfortable either due to the side wall directly adjacent. The drawer for storage is difficult to access from the seat.

I see the point about the current EK F being less "roomy" but still find it to be perfectly spacious, and the seat is super comfortable. So my main concern would be that they manage to retain the comfort of the seat. In a way the EK F suite feels a bit like a pampered cocoon or desk kind of setup, a little more flat surface storage with non-slip surfaces around the side would be nice, as the high gloss finish makes stuff slip around and the mini bar kind of interrupts the flat surface, while the front "desk" section is a little far to reach and putting stuff there might block the TV
