The new pillows and duvets are among the best I have had on any airline. Easily the equal of BA F. The pillows, especially are very comfortable and a good size. The duvets are a very nice fabric (no static) and good size - heard some of the FAs saying they are so large that they fear people tripping over them in the aisles.
Regarding the new amenity kits (the wife just brought one home from her 5/1 flight); the case has changed, but most of the products seem the same. That is fine with me, as the Lather products are pretty good. Still, could use a few more goodies tucked in there, but they give you the basics.
All in all, between the food and pillows and blankets, I think that DL is definitely heading in the right direction with BE. I'd still trade all of it for a flat bed, but it makes me hopeful that the flat-bed BE will be a truly top-notch product. The general direction I see, to me, is something to be very excited about.
