You'll enjoy it. I went in mid December. Get a timed ticket if you can beforehand so you don't have to queue - although if you go this time of year and during non-peak times there won't be any queues.

I am not planning to reserve seats. I'm really tempted, but it'd be £60 for both passengers and both flights. I am a bit worried about the outbound on Iberia though... all rows in Economy up to row 12 are blocked!

I had the same issue, and they remained blocked after t-72 too. As long as you're not too tall it's not too bad. We (2x Gold) ended up with an empty aisle seat. With no economy service there's not as much to be said for being right at the front other than a couple of mins quicker off

In any instance not worth paying £30 for.

No, there were people there, many of oriental appearance so not sure if it was a tour group block booking. There were a couple of empty seats in the front couple of rows next to other people - maybe they were premium and therefore blocked.
In any instance not worth paying £30 for.

The airport metro line only runs every 10 mins so it might be worth finding out the timetable for that so that you don't just miss one. From the T4 corner IB non-Schengen gates to the platform can be done in about 10 mins including ticket purchase, brisk walking and strategic use of travelators.
