A380 - do bulkhead seats have larger or smaller legroom?

Choosing my seats for an A380 flight, only silver so no free exit row seat selection.
Was going to select a bulkhead seat, but Seat Guru warns me about "restricted legroom". Is that the case? Thank you.

The main A380 seating thread has great tips in the wiki

Seatguru is an unreliable pile of crap.

On the A380, 80A/B/J/K have huge legroom, 70A/B/J/K are also good. I can't stretch my foot forward and touch anything in these seats.

80A or 80K are my preferred economy seats on the A380.

The D/E/F/G seats have less splendid legroom, in that I can reach the bulkhead if I reach out with my foot, but still far better than the usual seats - probably equivalent to about 45" pitch.

I can't say about downstairs, I've never sat there in Economy.
