Seats 22 B, C, D, E and 23 A & F all still have great leg room, seats 23 B, C, D & E have the same leg room as any other Y class seat. I finally got to see the new config and got a few photos of them. Once I figure out how to post them I'll share.

A321 with 4 extra seats
So I just boarded this plane . Row 22 both sides just like row 9de and 23 is like 10def but on both sides. Only difference is that 23f has underseat space in front. Nice seat.

Trying to visualize this. In the old config (as currently on SeatGuru), 22 ABC had jumpseats and the restroom ahead of them and no underseat storage, and 22 DEF had a long distance to row 21 ahead and could use the underseat storage. So is old row 22 now 23 and they put in a row 22 ahead of it? Or did they put any new seats on the left side?
If I'm visualizing this correctly - and I very well may not be - the desirable seats in that area would be 22ABC (bulkhead), 22DE and 23F? A pic would be fantastic too :-)

Sseatguru is now wrong with this new plane version. Imagine the right side rows 9 and 10 , its the same now on 22 and 23 right side. The left side of row 22 and 23is just 9 de and 10 def flipped. 22 bc has the lav in front of it. No 22 a. Seats all look new in it as well.

So the important question is: will we find a lot of legroom in front of seats 22B,C,D,E? (Meanwhile, it sounds like 23B,C,D,E are now certainly "sucker" exit row seats just as 10D,E are!)

Lots of legroom in 22BCDE. BC has Lav in front of it and FA seats attached to LAV looking back in front of 23A (lots of room between 23A and FA seat. To your point, 23 BCDE are exit row seats that have no additional legroom. The only sets on 23 that are decent are 23AF as there's no 22 in front of them.
Though they are pretty far back. 22DE and 23 F are pretty decent choices

I just got reassigned to 22D after an equipment change. I wasnt too happy to be next to the lav but it sounds like these seats are okay for the coach cabin. If anyone sees a disgruntled traveler wearing a respirator and asking people to stay out of my personal space tomorrow, say hi.

That will be only if you're on one of the new planes -- I read they started to deliver in the Fall of 2012. My understanding is that the older planes still have the old layout. Unsure if there's a plan to change the older ones.
