Thanks folks... have a good rest of the week!

Have you tried EK, CX or SQ? Might want to.

As for the "consensus" of eliminating F on AA's 777s, I've never seen such a consensus discussed on this board, and it certainly didn't get my vote.

Not to mention the Dateline NBC sting potential of that type of thing-- I've got neighbors, ya'know.

some prefer coffins

The difference might be larger between the 2 F's on a daytime flight when traveling alone, in which case I would more highly value the extra personal space of the suites, but still probably not as large as the difference from J to F-coffins.
In any event, to the original poster -- do a search here on "coffins" and "suites" and you'll probably find a wealth of information discussing both configurations.

I was recently on an overnight LHR-ORD and enjoyed getting to know my seatmate. We really hit it off. One nice thing about the closeness of our two seats was that after dinner when the lights went dim, we were able to sneak in a little fun before getting some Z's. We were in the front on the window (and most of the cabin was already asleep) so could discretely get this done under the covers.
