Is the bulkhead leg room that limited? It's that vs the benefit of having nobody in front, and not having to move someone to get out of the window seat.
Is this a Gatwick based 777 (perhaps you can indicate the first and last row numbers in WTP?)? There are so many 777 versions now (and of course things could change). But if it is LGW then the leg room in the first row of WTP is great, and just enough to step around the aisle seat passenger. However there is no window on that seat.
