This is probably old news now, but we flew on the ex-GOL aircraft (VH-8ZL) in business last night which has the same biz seats as VA's new design (with legests) but much more room - I was amazed at how spacious the configuration was. It's not super obvious from the pic below, but there was a huge amount of legroom (seemed like a solid 50" pitch, maybe more) and a ton of space *behind* row 2 as well, so in addition to lots of legroom the recline (and the amount the legrest would raise) was also really impressive.
The cabin looked like it probably originally had 3 rows in a more conventional domestic biz class config, which had been replaced by just 2 on this particular bird. Very nice, but surely costing them $$$.
My (admittedly not very tall) other half actually could not reach the seatback in front even with his legs stretched right out!
