The Skysuite III is probably one of the least attractive reverse herringbone seats out there. The lag of a legrest does quite annoy me, but otherwise it works pretty well for intra Asia flights. Admittedly Singapore and Jakarta are quite long intra Asia flights, that really should see the Apex Suites on night flights.
One point from my side is that getting a window seat on Skysuite III is actually more important than on the Apex Suites.
Ah right, now that you've got them side by side I do remember NH being staggered. But that's a pretty low budget seat too with no independent leg rest adjustment, when I booked it I actually thought it was the same as the original staggered 77W seat, which I recall being fairly hard as a bed but a pretty good seat overall. Joke was on me. Maybe I'm the only one, but I enjoy siting slightly reclined but with my legs fully up when watching movies or even eating to some extent. I don't like having the choice being basically all or nothing. JL's seat you pictured accomplishes the same annoyance in a different way. Adding insult to injury neither JL nor NH are what I'd call 'cheap' intra-Asia. CX and MH typically both blow the doors off of their prices and CX especially has a good hard product on the A350s and a some of the A330s. I've very content to spend an hour or two in CXs F lounge to make a connection.
