I do not get this wanting to be "further from the galley" thing. I fly BA A380 (UD) and BA 747 (UD) quite a bit, and I prefer the illusion that I'm not really in a tube flying through the air several miles up with several hundred other people. The fewer people I can see the better. Noise cancelling technology or earplugs takes care of any galley noise, and with the 747 especially, two toilets for 20 people ensure there's never really a queue, even when that 40 minutes to landing announcement is made. Give me a small cabin, in close proximity to the loos and the galley if it has to be, any day over a flying dorm. But each to their own!
