While the 190's got a little less desirable when the cabin was reconfigured with slightly less legroom, I still prefer them to the 320's. Even as a tall person, I think I'd rather do a long flight in a 190's cabin than a full 320, if they had the range.
Before the extra EMS was added, weren't the rear rows a 33" seat pitch, or was it 34"? Either way, with a wider seat, 2x2, generous legroom, and the occasional not-full flight where everyone congregated up front, it was quite luxurious.
