Most car seats should fit fine in 773 MCE bulkhead seats; ours (Britax B-safe, not a small one as rear-facing go although far from the largest) fits fine in the 763 bulkhead seats, which are narrower (but probably wider than the non-MCE.)

I would be a little concerned about a car seat in 773 non-MCE bulhead -- that quarter inch in width might keep it from fitting. I'd still take the best seats available (even if bulkhead), as they are usually pretty easy to trade away from.
Thanks for the info. We are in 16 deh right now, but 19deh is avail as well. I was worried about the car seat not fitting in the bulkhead, as the armrests are fixed. We are using a maxi cosi prezi, so I think it should fit. Do you just use the seat or the base too?
