Depends what you're looking for...
The obstructed view is as a result of something hanging in front of your window - usually a lifeboat. In the case of E407, I believe it is a partially obstructed view. There doesn't appear to be a lifeboat hanging directly in front of that window, which means the partial obstruction is likely from some of the lifeboat related stuff such as davits, platforms, catwalks, etc.
If you're interest in the outside cabin is for the view, then you should move because the panorama will be significantly restricted both left & right as well as down (you look down at the promenade deck). If you're just interested in the sunlight and knowing what the weather is, then keep it for the money you're saving.
I often book the obstructed view cabins to save on the fare, since I just like to have the light coming in. If I want to look around I usually go outside anyway, unless I've booked a balcony cabin.
Have fun! We've enjoyed the Grand every time.

Yes, it depends. I usually book inside cabins to save money since I am barely in my room anyway. I got a great deal on the Grand, inside cabin Aloha deck on November 9. They were having a promotion for that catargory. Anyway, if it is just light you want, stay there. If you are looking for a view, move or get a balcony (well worth your money).
