I concur. I have flown SIN-LAX in both Raffles and Exec Econ and I would not pay a large premium for Raffles. That said, both of my flights in Exec Econ have been mid week with the seat open next to me. I think if I were to fly as a "single" in a full Raffles class and not be in the middle section, I'd feel quite put out.
