Nope. The ex-NW 757 seats are, objectively, the worst in the DL fleet. The ex-DL 757 seats are also worse than the 767s, IMO.
The A330s are, IMO, better than the 767 seats, but they have significant flaws (too-steep incline, too much intrusion from the seat in front, general slipperiness) that make them no better than mediocre and the gap between the 767 is small enough that I can do nothing more than roll my eyes at the vitriol thrown at the 767 seats from ex-NW fliers. I mean, I could understand hating both the A330 and the 767 seats, but hating the 767 while singing the praises of the A330 is like picking flies out of horse***t.

YMMV, but I find the width perfectly adequate on the 767. Would I prefer they be a bit wider? I guess, why not, but I don't find the current width to be a noticeable issue, and I am not terribly skinny (nor terribly fat). Certainly, the less than 2" of extra width at seat level offered by the A330s is hardly make or break for me.
