I'm 6'4, and I personally would choose front row on a CRJ2 so at least my knees have some breathing room. I generally try for 1C as I can then stretch my legs out past the wall some when the FA is past me doing drink service. Only disclaimer on this seat is these 200's are prone to WT n Balance so if it's not full, you could be asked to move back behind row 4 anyhow. Exit row is only about 1/2 inch more room than standard seats on these piles of junk.
