You should be better positioned to get the Op Up for sure. Not only does it free up 2 seats, but 2 seats that are by definition together.
A few questions of interest:
1. Don't most United flights nowadays have immovable arm rests?
2. Do you get 2 x EQMs and miles? I ask because this would make Mileage Runs much easier.
Thanks,
