I don't think I've flown an Alaska 700, so I didn't know that. Thanks.

I'd define "infinte" leg room as this: Even if you are the tallest person you know, and even if you put your right-at-the-limit-of-underseat-standards bag under the seat in front of you (if possible*), there's still more room than your could ever user for your legs in any seating position.
I'd consider you at 6'4" a reasonably estimator of this, except that you didn't specify whether it felt "infinite" to you with our without luggage under the seat. I have certainly seen bulkhead seats (with no hard bulkhead) on one plane or another on one airline or another (can't remember which clearly) where it felt "infinite" if I didn't have to put my bag there, but no longer felt "infinite" once I did put my bag there.
But I guess I should ask: Does Alaska let you put your bag there (even for takeoff and landing) because it's under the seat in front of you, or not because it's officially "bulkhead"?
* On some AA planes, I've seen "infinite legroom" seats that had a hard bulkhead in front of them, so you couldn't put your bag in front, but it was "infinite" in that there was a great distance to that bulkhead (you'd have to get up and walk the equivalent of almost another row to get there).
