Consumer choice is generally available, even on BEagle's CRJ sectors, there'll often be a competitor with a "full size" offering.
As a reasonably frequent long haul traveller, I think the balance between space/price/choice is about right. I'd like to travel club, but the price difference is just not worth it to me.
Just travel in a calm frame of mind, otherwise everything will wind you up. After all, even the longest trip is unlikely to be much over 24 hours, and that goes pretty quickly
