I could easily sit in emergency row 14 with my legs/knees crossed (being a little under 6 feet). It was without a doubt well worth the extra 16 euros each way for a three hour flight.

As in any airline. Luckily stuff small enough for underneath a seat will almost always fit in the small portion of overhead space that is left. Too bad that there are no seat pockets in those Recaro seats so a thick book or camera or even bottle of water will be confiscated during take off and will be put in the overhead.

In our A320 The ABC and DEF seats in emergency rows 12 and 14 were identical.
