Yeah - four is better, but three gives you (at 18" each seat) around 54" total - which is not too bad - might have to bend the knees a little, but hey, what's the difference in bending the knees there or on a BA flat bed? (ok, I know, but I'm paying 1/2 the price).

54" compares ok to std biz class pitch, and at least you can lie completely flat (no danger of falling off the seat if you put the cabin baggage on the floor in front at seat level).
