Like I said you are guaranteed completely flat beds on all of Jets Long Haul products.

I find that I frequently need to put them up a bit from full flat - as I feel my feet are almost above the level of my head...
Maybe I'm flying too much LH, but I think that my observations above are pretty accurate.

On arrival at BRU, if connecting to BA 9W may or may not let you into their lounge - as officially lounge access is on departing flight. Having said that -
9W staff at BRU lounge are usually flexible enough, especially if you explain that you are flying LHR-BOM that night.
However, the 330 is an identitical seat, and if you are traveling alone, I actually prefer to the 77W in business as due to an absence of First class cabin, the service is often superior on the 330.
At BRU, the BA lounge has much less by way of food offerings, and does not have shower access - (9W has one shower and an agreement with the Diamond lounge to let its PAX shower there - but its the crappiest shower I have experienced at a premium lounge so don't bother). BA lounge is much more serene, less crowded and a more relaxed place to sit.
If 9W gives you lounge access, grab some breakfast there and then go relax in the BA lounge (BRU BA lounge was a pilot for the galleries look, so it is fresh and new).
Enjoy!

Glad I'm not the only one!
Luckily the seat can compensate for this minimal negative incline while in flight, including the motorized headrest, which can incline on its' own, independent of the seat, which I find very useful!
