I assure you that at 6'3" it is uncomfortable, at least in my experience, to have a backpack underneath the seat in front of you in a non-E+ seat. And many of my UX flights have no E+ seats so my knees are pushing into the back of the seat in front of me unless I can use the underseat space for my legs.
