Zone B seems a poor relation to Zone A - being stuck behind the nose and next to PE.

Is something wrong then with being next to PE? [:?]
That goes without saying ...... [:p]
In the end, it's the feeling of being a crowd that does for zone B IMO. In the olden days when they'd just rolled out the suite and BH and I were first experimenting the SFO-LHR offering, we'd do zone B to have the dividers removed. We soon realized that given how unlikely it was that we'd do anything different than if we were in separate seats, it wasn't worth it. Now the removable dividers are gone.
For me it's always a struggle to pick upstairs or zone A. Without the Inflight therapist on board, most seats in Zone A are really quiet, just don't pick the ones closest to the galley/toilets. What they also offer is a LOT of space in front of you, unless you are in the 12/14 seats, so they are really a lot more private than upstairs.
Upstairs seems to attract just because you get to go up those stairs. I like that too, but as others have said I wouldn't take it especially on a night flight if it's seat higher than row 7. It's noisy, and you might actually end up better off in the middle of Zone B.
