Premium Economy seating advice needed

hi everyone, this is my first posting, having been reading the forum for a while.

in January 2013 i will be flying to HKG from LHR in Premium Economy.
previously i flew economy as always found the shell seats perfect, even though tall, at least no one encroach into my space by reclining. i found 68K on a 747-400 a good choice always, as extra legroom by side of seat in front, and quiet too, and good view from window
i got one op-up to business class as well, which was nice.

anyways, i booked 31A as when choosing the seat, the diagram on the Cathay Pacific page for a 777 showed them in advance of the wing, even when checking MMB page after booking. even doing a dummy seat change to see seats free after booking.

having checked further, from photos, looks like the seat is over the wing in reference to door position. also no window in fuselage, only the door window.

looks like it is going to be 777-300-ER4 i will be flying on.
every flight seems to have 32H/K blocked from booking, so could not choose them, even checking a 2 week spread.

i am 6ft5in and wondering if i change to 34A, if the recline from 33A will be much into my 'own space'.
landing in HK is always fantastic and like to take photos and video out of the window when landing.
it just seems a bit strange having premium economy seats over a wing and a view blocked of landing, when you can get a view from economy.

thanks in advance for any help
