SKY SUITE on SS7 are so much better and I would avoid NEO if I could. I probably will try out the 788 if I am flying to NGO though

No matter how thin you are, the high walls make for tight shoulder room especially in the bed position. There's a lot more space to spread out with Neo.
And then of course there's the whole matter of the 787 being a nicer aircraft overall... it may be a fire hazard, but it sure is pleasant in the cabin
I wouldn't necessarily prefer Neo to SS6, but Neo on the 787 is preferable to SS6 on the 767 in my eyes.

I'm not fat, honest!

NEO on 788 are actually wider than the ones on 773. So I am sure it is quite a bit wider than SSII on SS6.
I don't have the same problem with SS on SS7 though even with high walls. Probably that's the 13cm bed width making the difference

Actually having just flown in these seats I don't any more. Just to note that while the pitch is fine the seats themselves are pretty hard and lack sufficient padding. AA's seats are much more comfortable in this regard. And while the water bottle holder is a nice addition, it actually robs any of the extra space from one's left leg!
BTW the plane was inbound from YVR (late arrival), outbound to SIN replacing the 788.

I know JAL has stated they were moving to put in lie flat seats on all medium to long haul routes to SE Asia.
I was looking around for early next year and noticed that the redeye from SGN-NRT is a 767 with recliners. Think this will changed to the SS6?
I saw the daytime SGN-NRT route has the current SS6.
