TACA vs COPA Business for CA?

I'm curious if anyone has a recommendation if given the choice for a flight to Central America from ORD would you choose Taca over Copa in Business?

Main reason I ask is I flew Copa C last year and was not impressed. It was Contintenal's awful F seats with equivalent surly to non-existant FA service to match.

The only plus was the ease of transiting PTY.

So, we're looking at another trip to Central America for our winter break so I'd be curious if anyone has a view of the Business Class service/experience with TACA and a connection in Guatamala City?

I'm mainly interested in whether the C seat is at least comfortable (i.e. something closer to a original UA, or AA domestic F seats or something atrocious like the CO/CM seat?)

How is transiting Guatamala vs PTY? Are the TACA FAs working C attentive or do they dissappear like on Copa?

Any perspectives would be appeciated.

If both are equally bad, that would be good to know as I could always go DL or AA F and put up with the US connect.

Thanks

Just flew Copa C. LAX-PTY-CCS If you know you're getting one of their new 737 aircrafts, the new and improved products is very decent and definitely better than any domestic AA F, including their new 737-800s.

If you're not sure, or you know you'll be getting one of the older aircrafts, then definitely go with Taca. It can't be any worse than Copa's old C.
