I am wondering if paying the extra for Vietnam airlines deluxe economy seats is worth it. If anyone has flown with them in these seats it would be good to have your views on whether or not it was appreciably better than in their normal economy seats. [We would be flying from London so nearly a 12 hour flight]. Thanks
Has anyone flown deluxe economy on vietnam airlines ?

No - I'm just shocked that VA flies from London! Sorry I can't help. Regular economy was fine for the short-haul trips we took an that airline.
Vietnam Airlines has aggressively expanded its long-range international service, flying now to Paris, Frankfurt, Prague, Rome, Amsterdam and Moscow in Europe as well as London. You can see their route map here:

For North Americans living on the eastern side of the continent, flying east through a European port and on to Vietnam is a competitive alterative to flying west.
Sorry, my only international flight with the company was only a few hours long so regular economy was okay.
