I don't think you'll have any problem making your next flight no matter where you are sitting. Considering you are taking a transatlantic (LONG) flight, I'd definitely opt for greater comfort on the plane vs. the extra 3-4 minutes you'd gain by sitting farther forward. It won't be a significant amount of time. By the time everyone gets to the immigration hall, where you will be choosing among a dozen or more lines to wait in, row numbers are pretty meaningless anyway. Try instead to hone your skills at picking the speediest immigration officer
