The 2 & 1 seats are a bit roomier than those on the Capitol, but otherwise both seats have the same ammenities. That being foot rests, calf rests, and seatback trays.

And it's my understanding that the Pennsy doesn't always run with the 2 & 1 club cars. There are days where it seems to run with a standard Amfleet I business class car. In that case the Capitol's seats would definately be preferable.
