Other than big seats and a coat closet, I'm not seeing any major advantages.
You do get bigger seats (2-1 across the carriage instead of 2-2), more recline, legroom etc. etc. Plus a free copy of the
FT if they've still got some left in your carriage.
For a 15-minute trip (23 minutes if going to/from T4), this is all lovely - if you can get it for free. I wouldn't myself pay the extra money for it, not in a million years.
