I realize this isn't the same aircraft but thought I'd pass it along. I normally prefer the last row of seats in FC for all the reasons mentioned. Sometimes I feel like the recline is just a little less than other seats, but it's never been an issue. That changed on a recent flight from ORD to ATL on a 73W, which is a 737-700 winglets. I was in 3B and the recline was noticeably restricted and really uncomfortable by the end of the flight. I was surprized they would do this to a FC seat.
