I was in 23D, and the tray tables are NOT in the arm rests of the middle/aisle seats, despite SeatGuru. I didn't have my ruler, but I could have sworn there was an inch or two of extra legroom, even though seat guru says their isn't and AA.com says "regular legroom" (although I think they sell the seat as either MCE or premium).
22B/C, 22D/E, 23A, and 23F are sold as MCE. 23D/E aren't upcharge seats, and appear to be blocked for advance reservation (as are 23B/C).
23D/E are terrible and look worse or same as standard pitch coach seats to me. 23E gets the added bonus of having 23F's tray under their right arm.
Row 22 (22D and 22E) are VERY narrow as compared to a regular seat. I'll grab 22E if 23F (and 10A/B/C) is taken, but I always end up too cozy with the stranger in 22D as the cost of infinite legroom.
