I sometimes work in Croydon and have a choice of the 1710ish and 1810ish (some of them are xx11) Southern (when GTR can be bothered to run them) or Thameslink via London. I often stay for the 1810ish in order to take a 387, as I prefer a well-spaced airline seat over a table (only 2+2 airlines on an older Electrostar are priority seats or 1st) and I don't like the seats[1] in those anyway, the armrests are somewhere up near my ears and I'm tall.
[1] Those seats are the reason why the 350s (/4 excepted) are in my "would pay extra to sit in Standard" list, and even on a /2 if it's not busy (i.e. being used as 2+1) it's no way worth any extra.
