I've discovered the possibility of upgrading to Economy+ for added legroom, and I think ill jump on that if there's no better alternative. Any thoughts? I am offered the Economy+ upgrade for $89 but the seat is marked with "Limited recline". Any input? Im on a 737-900 on my way down, and the 767-300 on the way back.

And will my EBG (*S) give me any benefits here?

Thanks
Isn't Eurobonus Gold *G? or did you mean Eurobonus Silver?

*S only gets you a free checked bag on domestic itineraries and priority boarding (and by priority I mean Zone 4)

*G gets you three checked bags, priority baggage handling, priority security, priority boarding and lounge access.

Neither gets you Economy Plus unfortunately.
