We have a bit over 3 months before EVA seat selection will open up, so we will probably decide before then. If I had to guess they will be the same or a bit less. We def prefer EVA for several reasons, and it def. has to be Premium Economy for the LAX-TPE leg of the trip. Our final destination is Timor Leste, so there's a lot of flying and overnights due to flight schedules involved in this trip. Might as well make at least the long parts more comfortable!

Thank you for your thoughtful answer.
