Help: Opinions on Delta 763ER Coach Seats
I have an upcoming flight where BE=full 
So, coach it is. It's the 763ER configuration with row 19 and BE seat and the lavatory in the middle (although delta.com seat map doesn't show the lavatory in the middle)
I have the option of choosing the aisle seat in row 17 (elite section), or 21G, the second exit row window.
I'm 6'2 so I obviously would appreciate the extra leg room, but is it worth the possible stink and noise from the lavatory? From my understanding, there's a small "galley" where the doors of the lavatory are located so they don't directly disturb the aisle seats. True?
Which one would you choose?

And yes there is a small "vestibule" for the lav entrances as well.
I'd take the the exit row and just use some earplugs if you're sensitive to noise.

I flew in seat 21A ATL-SVO this past summer on the 763. I wasn't disturbed by the lav noise (but I wasn't really trying to sleep) and I didn't notice any foul smell either. But the exit row on the plane really isn't vastly larger than the other seats.

I've done both the "mini-cabin" and the second exit. The mini-cabin is nice b/c of minimal traffic. However, if you want to get some work done, the second exit row is really nice b/c you have two tray tables: one in your arm rest and one attached to the seat in front of you. This makes it really easy to spread your papers and laptop out, or whatever else you need to do. So long as you're in the window seat, the lav traffic/noise won't bother you like it would if you were in the aisle seat. I'd bring a fleece to deal with the slightly colder temps.
