Those seats are actually pretty horrible. I remember switching from a 1 hour ride on standard Swiss stock (double-deck IC2000 - used for rides of 30' to 3h), and the difference was staggering. After an hour I switched to first class (I'd gotten an upgrade for only part of the route), and... not much more comfortable, just a bit more width.Well, they’re certainly good enough and have been good enough for the RailJet fleet in Austria, and they’re hardly reagional trains..
As northernbelle also mentions: claustrophobic. It was a real shame. Great scenery in Ausria, but you can only see half of it if you're in a window seat, and even less in an aisle seat. It was especially jarring after the 4x4 seating on the prior Swiss train.
