I don't consider the window seat on the port side as "Super Premium" since the seat cushion is usually uncomfortably slanted to accomodate the emergency exit, and in fact I don't even consider the aisle seat that great unless the flight is completely full since the middle seat in that row is clearly the most desirable middle seat on the plane and therefore more likely to be occupied. But ... to each his own!
