I've flown the "newly seated" CR7 the past three weekends and it might be me, but I've found the recline for 2A to be better than what it was before the new seats were installed-but I would take 2A over 1A regardless simply because of the legroom and being able to slide my feet under 1A [and to add, if in Y, go for 7C as the leg room is great tho it generally is blocked until t-24hrs so try and grab 7B (very good legroom) and then swap to 7C if it shows open]

Just got off a CR7 in E+. Seats were rock hard. Very uncomfortable, but seats will probably be very durable for UA. E+ pitch was okay.
First class looked to have slightly reduced pitch from the previous configuration. Looks like Row 1 lost a little bit of legroom relative to the bulkhead wall. Row 7 (formerly Row 3) -- the first row in E+ -- still had excellent pitch.

So I decided to use 20k UA miles + $75 to upgrade to F on my IAD-AUS flight next week, and the upgrade already cleared. The A seats are all taken, so it's 1D, 2C, or 2D.
I'm thinking 2D so I can keep some items I may need to refer to under the seat while working. But if 1D reclines, am I out of luck in using my laptop? Are tray tables built into the seat in front, or part of the armrest?

Just remember to get food ahead of time (ideally at the SEN lounge), as you're not really getting "food" on the plane
