x2. I'be flown p.s. so often over the years that I've become accustomed to wifi on United - it's become part of my flight routine; seat in lounge mode, noise cancelling headphones on (UA really needs to bring their old p.s. noise cancelling headphones over to intl. F), straight to my email. Stepping onto anything other than a 3-class 757 is always quite jarring to me because of this. wifi and the SQ spacebeds (which I actually like a lot) make me heavily bias towards p.s., even over the 2-class intl. 757s.

For sure. For short hauls, I'll usually prefer PMUA equipment since I don't need the power and the seats are more comfortable. On tcons, I'm heavily biased toward sCO equipment because of power and DTV. Seats suck, though.
I suspect that mix will change for me once it becomes clear which fleet is getting Wi-Fi first; I'll preference Wi-Fi over everything else.
