First of all, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that 32A and 32L are the same (just mirror seats) and the same goes for 32C and 32J?
Next, I have a choice between 32J and 32L. Which is better? To expound on myself, I prefer ideally a window seat because I like looking out the window and leaning on it to sleep. However, because I don't like climbing over people, and I like to get up and stretch a bit on long flights, I take the aisle instead. For 32L, is there a decent window, or do I have to strain to look out? Is legroom impeded by the door? Is it comfortable to lean (or at least as comfortable as any standard window seat)?

Thanks!
I flew 32L back from HKG last month.

For legroom it's OK, as the encroachment of the slide at the emergency exit is far enough in front of you that you can stretch out.

Seat width is a problem. Tightest CO seats I have ever flown (and I don't think I ate that much dim sum in HKG!). Width reduced because of tray tables and video in armrest. Lucky for me, middle seat was empty - my left shoulder literally spilled halfway over into the middle seat.

Window is also mis-aligned. It's farther back than usual, so you have to stretch a bit to see out, and my right shoulder could not use the window well - I was compressed by the cabin wall.

I would still choose this over a normal seat, but only because the middle was free.
