Just to be clear, there is no better chance of an OpUp if you don't print your boarding pass. The FLY system will determine that automatically.
The sole advantage is that you retain the ability to select a different seat, so you might be able to improve your position (say with a bulkhead or exit row, or being closer to the front) within your booked cabin.
