Hi and welcome.
Well the seat pitch on VS PE is 38", so I guess only you can decide if that is sufficient legroom. Obviously it is a lot more then the 31/32" offered in economy so unless you went for an exit row seat in economy you wouldn't get more on this a/c type currently (UC is not installed yet).

I find PE quite cramped in terms of legroom on the A330, especially if someone reclines in front of you. But, as Neil said, it's a lot more spacious that y on that plane.

I'm also 6'5" and found PE seat pitch liveable but not great.
Assuming you're on one of the 2-class 333s that are still flying the MCO routes until they're reconfigured, try and get the front row of PE which has much more legroom. You might have to ask at the airport as they may hold it back for babies/special assistance pax.
Personally I prefer exit rows in Y to standard PE. Yes the seats are a bit narrower but the legroom's unlimited.

My DH is 6'4" with very long legs and finds the PE legroom poor compared to the seats on the 747 to the extent that he refuses to fly again in the Airbus 330.
There is a difference even in people of the same height. If a person is tall because of longer legs than another person of the same height but who has shorter legs, then the first person will find the legroom available to be inadequate. The second person with shorter legs may not have a problem with available legroom.

Dragging up an old post here but just VS 30 from Barbados
I am 6"2 so not ridiculously tall but was positively cramped in 21f in PE. This is the 2nd row ( just behind the bulkhead row). Flew out in an extra legroom seat in economy which was much better. Swapped with a family member also in row 21 but on the other side of the aisle and there must have been 3-4 inches extra legroom.
Cabin was full do couldn't get moved and I think Upper (which was wide open at check in) was filled by friends and family. Really annoyed.
