I'm no wimp and as I pay for my own travel I never buy C, but at 6'3" I'm literally beaten and bruised after 8 hours in E (+ or -) doing transAtlantic flights. I always seem to be seated behind a 5'nothing granny who has to jam her seat into full recline before we leave the tarmac. Even in E+ it usually hits my knees. Add to that the lousy 17" width on a 744 and I call that misery.

I thank god for row 21 on the 777, which I assume we'll be losing.
