The plane I flew with was B-8873 - one of the newer 320's with 186 seats. Correct, the 2 first rows were Spring Plus, but row 3 (my row) and row 4 had good legroom as well. It seemed a lot less from row 5. My guess is that I had around pitch 34-36" in row 3.
Perhaps the extra rows with legroom is to prepare for expanding the Spring Plus section with 6-12 more seats when there is enough demand. Row 2 and 3 were only separated by a movable divider, so it wouldn't take a lot to do.
On my flight only 9 of the 12 seats were booked in Spring Plus.
