Looking for the optimal pair of seats on the upper deck of the 747-8. I see row 84 has a gap between it and row 83 due to the emergency exit/flight attendant seat. Does row 84 then offer any additional space than other rows or is it identical? Some seem to prefer this since there is no one directly in front of you.

Right now it looks like 81-83 is blocked (maybe that's normal until you get closer to the flight). My wife and I will have our 7 month old son with us as well. Thanks in advance!
