b) but if all remaining seats are rubbish, what's the point in choosing one over the other? (what's the normal recommendation for increasing opup - OLCI or not?)

What I can do is give you availability:

BA 275 J9 C0 DC RC IC W1 EC TC (what do you call a good seat btw - I see 12 A&D&G available?)
BA 264 J0 C0 DC RC IC W0 EC TC - lots of rubbish seats left here - but also 12D&G to avoid the middle seats. Perhaps maybe a good flight to volunteer rebooking?

Others will analyse this better than me
