Pearl Aft Balcony or Mini Suite?

Sailing next Dec. out of NOLA with a large group. We booked an Aft suite a while ago but they are all gone. Friends are booking now and that is basically the choices that they have in their price range. I know the aft balconies are a little smaller, but the views might be worth it. Any opinions?

Just an FYI ... the deck 10 aft balconies are significantly larger than the rest. Also, I've seen reviews about the deck 8 aft cabins being noisy at night due to the night club on deck 7.
