Pull up the seat map. Then go to
Seat Guru and compare; although with the changes for EC, the seat maps are not always accurate. If you want an accurate map, albeit without the detailed descriptions,
Delta provides updated maps on their site.

753 has its own configuration.
Simple as that.
All of the 757s have EC now. As I mentioned up-thread, even if DL tried to consolodate, the best they could do would be:
757-300
757-200 PMDL (6 doors, 4 window exits)
757-200 PMNW (8 doors)
757-200 BE Configuration
Beyond these types, the differences are negligible (unless you pick a seat that is absent on some types and then there is an equip. change). Given that DL uses a lot of the 752 Domestics on short-haul, high-density routes (i.e. ATL-FL) and with the huge order for 739s placed, I don't see them investing in AVOD for aircraft that do 90 minute turns all day.
