The seat adjustibility carries its own story. The FAA pilot who did the formal eval for the seats insisted that there could be no stick contact with the seat in any position from full forward/up to full down/back. The only way we could certify was to block the seat fore and aft travel permanently!
I do agree, for those 6'2" and taller, the panel bottom is a knee contact problem, but the lower panel can be cut away for those who are shortness-challenged, if a place can be found for the stuff on that area.
