These will be the longest flights we have ever been on, so I think a window view would be nice, but so would the extra room of the bed.
I've flown in EF seats with my spouse, but it was a day flight (LHR-DOH) so we didn't use the bed. However, my advice is to consider which you value more: the window view or being together as a couple. I enjoy window views, although mostly you only see things during the first and last 30-40 minutes of a flight, as there usually isn't much that can be seen at 30-35 thousand feet. With the EF center seats you can close the doors and the two of you are enclosed together, can talk during the flight, try each other's food, etc. Some couples love this on a long flight, while others find it too much.
