PHL > MCO flight showed a seating map for a 332 and I was shocked that such a huge plane would be going such a short distance. For this flight I paid with cash since it was the cheaper of the two.

MCO > PHL showed seating for a 757. I used Seat Guru to look at the plane and it showed a different arrangement of classes than the seating map I was looking at to choose my seats. It showed 6 rows of first class seats vs. 3. Since I was using miles for economy anytime, I was actually able to choose any economy class seat I wanted so I just went with the seat that was furthest up as possible (which according to seat guru was a first class seat).

Anyway, I am wondering if maybe the plane size will change last minute or if these seat maps are inaccurate. Any thoughts?
Both flights are on pmUS birds. pmUS 752s with three F rows could either be 'V2' or 'V3' for seatguru.
