It's mostly due to the full height of the cabin that's afforded to the middle seats. There's no overhead storage, so you get the full height in 1E/2F. 2A is slightly roomier than 1A too. As far as I'm aware there's no additional storage space.

In any event, the space in any seat feels significantly bigger than you think it would be from the photos.

Possibly most importantly for some is that there are more snack and beverage options in 1E/2F and 2A/2K than in 1A/1K., There are more magazines in 1E/2F.

The biggest deal killer for me about 1E has been the galley noise when trying to sleep, I'd imagine the same applies to 1K too although I've not tried that seat.

Frankly, the virtual view in 1E/2F is a bit of a gimmick IMO, but I guess it breaks up what would otherwise be a rather uninspiring wall.
