Recently got these seats (787-900 row 21 DFG) and they certainly make a long-haul in economy much more palatable. You have plenty of leg room and nobody shoving their seat backs into your face which makes the standard economy seats highly cramped and hard to get up out of. The only problem is the very rude people who think the bit of extra legroom is for public access between the two aisles (note that the galley cross-over is just 10 feet forward). Even with backpacks on the ground and legs out, there were issues with this. My wife's foot got stepped on once while she was sleeping. EL AL should provide some kind of rope that goes from the bulkhead to the outside armrests to make it clear to people not to try and walk across peoples' stuff and legs. If I was flying this airline again, I'd bring my own rope and some tape!
