I don't think you are correct, but I don't have the figures either. I fly
first class fairly often though and my seat neighbor is almost always
another person flying on business.

Flying for business (in this case) does not count, because the flyer is not
paying for the ticket, or the difference between coach and first class.

So my thought stands. If you are _paying_ for tickets a 25% difference will
decide every time.
