Other European Frequent Flyer Programs - EI seat allocation

Just booked return to Malaga from LGW with EI. We only paid £43 return but opted to pay extra for preassigned seats. Can't seem to find any comment on best seats but we have booked row 1 at £10 per seat. There was an option for row 12 (but not row 13) at £12.50, do they have more leg room than row 1 - but do they also recline and is it worth changing them?

Not flew with them before so any advise would be very welcome.

Many thanks

Row 1 has slightly more leg room. But all personal belongings will have to stowed overhead for take off and landing. Row 1 has normal recline.

Rows 12&13 are exit rows with extra legroom. Rows 11&12 have no recline as there is an exit behind. Row 13 has normal recline and as a result offers the best of both worlds. That row may also have already been reserved by someone booking earlier than you.
