I like that seat and will actually choose it over C+ seats, but I'm also only about 5'6" on a good day and don't find pitch to be a problem. IIRC, there isn't really any extra legroom in row 25.

Biggest bonus is you get both armrests, which I value a lot. IME, about half the time 26A will use the space under 24A to store their personal item. The other half of the time they toss it in the overhead or hold it in their lap or something (or, for example, a couple travelling together might just have one backpack and a purse between them, all of which they shove under 25B). In any case, if I notice the space under 24A is empty after takeoff, I shove my bag under there and enjoy the extra legroom.
