Row 2 is better in domestic First Class because you have much, much more legroom! The airline did you a favour and stuck Charlie in row 1. Count your blessings.
1EF is bulkhead and has enough room to stand up and pass by the aisle seat(e) without the person having to get up.
On a 757-200 Continental plane that is the best seat in the house next to 1 A or B. In row 2 there is no more leg room than any other first class seat.
