A bit of both. I prefer that side of the plane and I found that I was served first when seated there. I also sleep on my left side for the most part and I like seeing the curve of the plane while going to sleep.

I prefer 2F over 4F simply because you get off a bit faster.

It won't get any cheaper than that. I would also check ExpertFlyer to see if there are pax in Mint with unassigned seats.

My recommendation is to buy it now. That's close to the best possible price for the route.
