Both have almost unlimited legroom, but I seem to remember there being more toilets close to row 80, plus you are almost last off the plane. On the other hand, the K seat would likely have fewer people queuing for the loo in the space, and it being a smaller cabin, might be a bit quieter. I had 61J on the outbound in WTP, which was petty decent. I was able to use my bag as a footrest and got some good sleep.

I'd personally plump for 80K. There are toilets near 70B too and more passengers congregate there I think than the toilets at row 80 although there is a curtain at that row (70) separating WT and WTP and both cabins can use the 70 loos so much busier as both all can use it. The rear mini cabin is quiet and no through traffic really and I have found on the several occasions I have sat there I didn't see the toilet as an issue. Here are a few photos from an older TR of mine which may me useful, possibly. Finally once your out the aircraft and walk very briskly then you will probably beat a lot of folks in front of you many of who dilly dally.

If your HBO then the rear cabin bins are much smaller and worth considering to put any carry on at the rear of the main cabin (in the central bins) before seating yourself.
