Totally Agreed!!! If you check in precisly 24 hours in advanced, you will be able to pick your seats with the best selection.
Keep in mind, there are probably other people who have tickets for yor flight who don't haev seat assignments either, so you will have others looking to get an assigned seat within the 24 hour period as well. That said, the closer to the 24 hour mark the better your choice of selection.
