15 A "just okay"

Would I be considered a heretic if I said I thought 744 15 A was overrated?
I've been on the UD a bunch of times, but first in 15 A last May ORD/PEK. Now it was fine, but it wasn't Nirvana as it seems to be portayed here sometimes. Actually, there is so much space in front of 15 A, I might liken it to sleeping in a gymnasium, disconcertingly uncozy if you follow that. I like having the other seat closer in front to me, just seems more comfortable. My POV I guess. It does really pay off under one condition I think, if there is someone between you and the aisle that is "weight challenged" (tipoff: asks for the seatbelt extender). Have you had that experience contorting yourself and almost rubbing noses with your next door neighbor trying to get to the jake in the middle of the night? 15 A pays off big in that situation, otherwise, give me 12 or 13 A.
