Premium Econ on Ex-Alitalia planes

Does anyone know what these seats are like? Are they as bad as the airbus PE seats? Or as good as the new 747 PE? Or neither? Am I rambling? Can you help?

Good news :)....The PE cabin on the Ex-Alitalia aircraft is on the upper deck. They are considerably better than the PE seats on the A340's as they have a proper built in leg rests. The PE cabin takes up all of the upper deck so there is also an exit row. Seats are in a 2-2 config with the usual side bins between the seat and the cabin wall. They are the same as on the upper deck of the non-Alitalia aircraft (where PE is the rear half of the upper deck)

Nice and quite up there too with not much cooming or going in the cabin.
