This is based on the notion that slimline seats are as comfortable as the bulkier older seats. This is debatable in that many slimline seats lack adjustable lumbar support, but I think it's a fairly reasonable claim.
Re-engineering galley to allow more room for seats doesn't reduce seat comfort/legroom.
And I would agree - retiring those CR2s and using more 717s is good etc.
