I don't really understand the hype about row 1 anyway (particularly, I don't really understand why those seats would be blocked as "premium seats"). It's probably a different thing in the nose of a 747, but when I consider row 1 vs. row 2, I cannot really find anything that would be better in row 1 (except for the shorter distance to the lavs); on the contrary, in my experience, row 2 feels more airy (as you're not looking directly at the bulkhead), nobody will walk past you on their way to the lav, you're not in the direct view of passengers seated behind you and it's usually also a bit brighter, as on many planes row 1 is missing one window. Additionally, row 2 on the LX A340 has slightly more storage space (the "shoe rack" next to the window). Personally, I would always prefer row 2 over row 1.
