On the occasions I have to pay to fly economy I always happily stump up for the exit row. Given my long haul travel is exclusively MEL - LHR the investment is always worth it. You never regret spending a few hundred extra bucks when your stretching out with no one in front.
Currently, to my knowledge only Malaysia & Finnair currently offer these types of extra legroom seats on routes available to me. Etihad have given another option to consider when I do book economy and for me that is a great thing.
That said, hopefully the points keep flowing so I won't have to any time soon!
