Long tables for 175 people - where should bride & groom sit?

We’re having 4 long tables at our wedding, and aren’t sure where to seat ourselves. I want to be seated in the middle of an outer row - looking out at everyone, with a wall as our backdrop during speeches. My partner wants to be in the middle of a middle table - surrounded by people.

Is one seating arrangement better than the other? Are there pros/cons I need to consider? Will photos look better with one of those scenarios?
