There are only eight of them. Presumably it will be just like E+ - a few pax will get premium seats they did not pay for. Personally, I prefer to be farther away from the lavs.
They did have a fair point though -- Ecomony pricing was identical on the two flights, while PE / J was VERY elevated.... Time will tell how this goes....
