Though much more than economy for shoulders.

1) The bulkhead seats are better, in part because they're bulkhead and also because the footrests are under your seat rather than the seat in front.
2) If at 6'4" leg room is a *big* issue an economy plus bulkhead seat with "unlimited" leg room (i.e., some exit rows) might be just as good. But PE is probably going to be a better overall experience if you can afford the fare difference.
