(new) Virgin Atlantic Premium Economy on ALL VS fleet ???

Question for anyone in the know - I am booking flight for wife and me from Brussels to Orlando (via Manchester) to spend Thanksgiving with family. I am tempted to buy a Premium Economy ticket on Virgin - but wondering if:

1) The "new" Premium Economy seat has been rolled out across entire fleet or at least all 747s ? Or is it hit and miss?

2) Is it worth paying the extra or should I just fly normal economy with either BA (better than virgin economy?) or Virgin standard econ?

I have read some bad reviews on airline equality of the virgin premium econ service which surprised me because on paper it looks great - but people mention bad food, old planes and non-functioning AVOD!!!?? Can this be true?

Any input from regular travellers or cabin crew would be appreciated?

PS is it possible to arrange seat in advance with Virgin?
