Second set of exit row seats are more expensive?

Booking a flight from ORD to LAS row 13 exit row seats are 20.00 but row 27 exit seats are 33.00. wondering what the difference is and why these would be the most expensive seats on the plane?

first set of exit rows do not recline

reclining that row would somewhat restrict/obstruct the path immediately behind the seat to the sexond exit door.

So the bigger seats in the first three rows are also only 20.00, they also recline and right near the front which I thought was a coveted seat so I booked it. Those 33 dollar seats must have something really special about them.

There is about 2" extra room in the stretch seat exit rows compared to the first three rows of the plane, though I have never seen Frontier charge a different amount for the exit row than the front rows.

The exit row stretch seats typically sold before the front rows, so perhaps this is just another way to try and find a few extra $$ where they can.

In my opinion, it is not worth the extra $13 for the exit row compared to a regular stretch seat up front. I'd go for row 2 or 3 if available (bulkhead row 1 has less space for your feet).
