At least the A321 will be new.
New, and having IFE, are the only things going for the interior of the A32B, but their lower mass will mean more impact by turbulence. Crampedness, no footrest and so forth will remain -- I doubt that your general, and sound, strategy will be affected at all by this equipment switch.
