Which is better 80A/K or 71D

So I have the choice of 71D or 80A/K and trying to figure out which is better.

The Row 80 seems like it would be a little more out of the aisle (less traffic) while 71D has the storage space from 69D.

Currently have 71D booked but am giving serious thought to changing it to Row 80.

80A/K without doubt.

80A/K would be better - as good as 71D is, you have 71E climbing over you and 70E would also have to climb over your legs.

80A/K you don't have that issue. Just board early to make sure you get your bag stowed as you you can't store it on the floor (unless 80B or 80J is free)

I flew on both 80K and 80A and would choose those seats again. There was one caveat with my seat choice. Because I had to stow the video monitor in the armrest during takeoff and landing, I could not easily enjoy the view from the tail-mounted camera.

Thanks for very useful information as I wouldn't have thought about! ^

Party of 3 advice.

Wife, daughter and me are traveling on 388 LAX-MEL. We have the option of 80 A,B,C or Row 33 upstairs.

Anyone render an opinion on these. 80A works only for me with the extra legroom. I am not sure what the cabin upstairs offers. Anyone have an experience that you could share.
