Yes, I second that it's very hard to not see this as a vote validating SQ's judgment. Japanese are practical and any question to do with space usage would have been rigorously debated. QSuites are widely regarded as superior, but one has to acknowledge minority concerns about seat width too. In that context ANA's product looks industry leading.
