While I am happy go be upgraded to any seat in F, Row 1 tends to be my least favorite because of the bulkhead. With the other rows you have the seat in front of you for even more foot room (or to place a small bag or something under if you wish). The larger pouch attached to the seat in front of me I also find useful compared to bulkhead pouches. Also, I find the IFE monitors are not as convenient in Row 1.
