Thanks for that clarification - this is not clear on the silver benefits section of the site - perhaps because as LTN Phobia has said you can't have a basic fare on the same booking as an econ plus.
I have followed through until the payment page and it appears there is no option to add choosing a seat (and therefore knowing the price) until after the booking has been made.
Perhaps as mentioned above it would just be easier to book it all on econ plus.
