Totally on board with flying in the outboard cheap seats, at least for any flight where I don't have to sleep. Flights are incredibly boring aside from takeoff and landing, and I love roller coasters. :)
I have a feeling there are enough of us to make it work in the market and still fill planes, just instead of first-business-coach going front-to-back it'll go center-out, like a theater.

There are risks to create a "vomit comet". Think about cleaning bills.
This is a problem that a market can easily solve: make the more central seats more expensive than the outer ones. If the pricing is right, the demand for the various kinds/positions of seats will be balanced.
P.S. I can actually imagine that there do exist people who prefer the outer seats because they like the acceleration that makes the flight feel more like a carnival ride. :-)
