I think there needs to be a balance with the seating units.
Linear type seating works for short hops. Painful for longer stuff.
I've done the CAF 463 and whatever the commuter trains are in Mallorca.
Both decent enough rides and get what you say about being sturdy, but the CAF 493 interior was horrendous.
Genuinely struggled to find a seat with a decent seating arrangement.
Worse than the early Citaro's!
Have yet to do any Hitachi stuff. Always manage to evade me.
