The short answer is that there is not really any difference between the DF and EG seat pairs. All middle seat pairs have a table and privacy divider in the middle, which prevents seeing/communicating with your seatmate. Rows 7 and 13 are the most desirable for couples, as the privacy divider can be moved at those rows only. PE and economy do not have access to business class lavatories; this is strictly enforced. By the way, the rear cabin has 5.5 rows and the forward cabin has 6.5 rows, so it is not quite a "mini" cabin, unlike the low-J 789s with 2.5 rows in the rear cabin.
Thanks. I just reserved 7 and 13. Based on what you report, wondering if H & F, for example, might be better. I saw someone else mention that is what ANA recommends for couples.
(And thanks mods for moving me to the right thread.)
