I've only flown EY F 789 and I loved the hard product but the service and soft product was really lacking IMO.
EY seat and bed are hard and the shower is a big letdown after EK, though there is a lot of private space. Service/soft product are awful.

Have you flown the 789 or only the A380?

1. on TK even at a 2-2-2 configuration there's no way you'll avoid sitting right next to someone (unless it's empty) vs LX there are chances of having the throne, or the single seats on the right side, or the center seats which are more private than the ones on the left.
2. the TK lounge IMHO is very overrated (even for non Jews), its very busy, couldn't get a shower available, vs LX was very, very quiet, always able to grab an amazing shower (good idea to check-in for a shower right away), and I can enjoy coffee, soft drinks, fresh fruits, on the fresh air out side looking over the tarmac.

all this being said, this is my humble opinion based on my experiences, now this is not a Rashi or Tosfos & anyone is invited to disagree, I was just trying to help @Traveler12 based on my experience.

Booked my Mom on a flight with AF through Paris from  TLV. The TLV-CDG portion shows that it is being flown on the A320, however bookable business class seats are showing only 4 rows in a 2-2 configuration. All Seat Guru planes show them with 7-8+ rows. Are they flying a different product? Is it lie-flat? as EF does not show a blocked middle seat (do they usually)?

It's fake J, they can adjust to how many rows they need.

Middle seat is more private...

Ended up the automatic seats chosen for my friend and I were 1A and 1k so i left it as is.

I think it's best because its the furthest away from the galley and no one in front of you unlike the couple seats.

Then since cabin was half empty FA made us beds in the couple suites which were empty. So we had 4 seats to ourselfs/half a cabin.

On a side note, FCT ducks changed to black from yellow.
