You can say this again. I was unfortunate enough to be stuck in this row for LGW-DXB-HKG last weekend and after an uncomfortable first flight LGW-DXB, I asked to be "downgraded" to row 25 for the second leg DXB-HKG. Ironically, the economy seats in row 25 have the same usable width (17.6") as the business seats in row 6, but a much better seat pitch.
