Thanks for confirming. We're flying in October. Some of the SeatGuru reviews are calling these the worst seats the reviewers have ever sat in. I generally don't give credence to one-off negative reviews, but there are enough that I'm concerned. I'm 6'3" but more torso than leg and I *always* have to recline my seat at least a little because sitting very upright makes my back ache. I'm very concerned about comfort on a trip like this, but unfortunately anything beyond economy would stretch my budget.

So you would take the older 2-4-3 pod seat over the 3-4-3 new style which does recline? I admittedly don't know the seat width of either.
