Which cabin?

Despite AF's continual posting of updated information on where BEST will be flying that never includes IAH, my 777-200 flight in mid April to CDG continues to show as 1-2-1 so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be the case.

A couple of questions:
Presuming we do end up with BEST, are we better off in the larger front cabin (7 rows) or the cabin behind the galley (3 rows)? Normally, the smaller the cabin the more I like it but Seat guru shows three rows of premium economy immediately behind the J seats so basically they are the same size if there isn't really any separation. They don't show a divider, can anyone confirm this is the case? If so, might be 10 hours of angry looks!

IF we end up with the old seats, what is the best way to improve our changes of not getting a middle seat? Currently we have 4e & 4f, would we be better off to change to 4a & 4e if the change happens? Or is it all a shot in the dark? I am just trying to keep from having a repeat of my last AF trip, where after checking for almost a year to make sure we didn't loose our preferred seats, to have an equipment change on check in day and since we were on originally on the upper deck of a plane but the new plane didn't have those seats, we ended up stuck in middle seats.

Thanks in advance!
