I have never been sick in a middle seat on a 777 without wanting to be there (i.e. when flying with my wife and one kid, where it is an ideal configuration, suites stink for this. I got one am tired of the rah rah bloggers talking about how superior suites are, when your personal space in reality gets smaller and smaller.
If I've read this post right, which I might not have cuz it's pretty rambling, you prefer the 777 simply because YOU'VE never been shafted with that middle seat?

I didn't even get the middle seat, doesn't mean I wanna attempt to sleep right next to another person who I don't already share a bed with. Yes there are times where a family of exactly 3 can make tremendous use of these seats, same as a family of 4 occasionally making tremendous use of the Qsuites living room or whatever name they gave it. But the reality is, more often than not it's not a family of 3 and it's a collection of anyone who didn't get a chance to pick a seat, or was foolish enough to allow the system to assign them a seat.
