757-200 sCO 21"
763 3 class sUA 23.5"
763 2 class sUA 21"
764 2 class sCO 21"
772 3 class sUA 23"
772 2 class sCO 23"

To no surprise, this is why the 763 3 class and 744 BF seats are my favorite.
I guess the cramming of the seats together to get 8 across is what causes the feeling of "cramped-ness", not necessarily the seat width. On a 2-2-2 configuration, you get more personal space, not more seat space.
