Other than the diagrams; anyone have experience on row 30 vs. row 42 for E+ here?
Tough to say on the legroom. At 6'0" / 32" inseam, I find the bulkhead is just about the right distance, and I don't feel cramped at all. You may, however, given your height. I think there is at most about 1" of leg margin for me with my legs extended in a "lounge position".
