Again if anyone could confirm and give their views on these seats, I would very much appreciate it.
I've sat in row 51 (51G) on the A380 last month and you can indeed recline as it's just a walkway immediately behind (as the door is used for boarding). You do get a bit light pollution and noise from the galley, but no toilets as the nearest toilets are in the front of the plane. This does mean you get some toilet traffic.
I was half expecting a lot of people to use the walkway to do exercises and stretches or to hang around but it was relatively peaceful comared to the rear galley of a 777 where crowds seem to build up.
I found it to be an incredibly cold seat in 51G due to the exits and I'm a cold fish, I hate a warm/hot cabin but even this was a bit too cool for me.
That said, I would probably chose this seat agian if I can't find decent seats elsewhere.
Can't comment on your other seat.
