I should add that particularly aisle seats of Row 5 (1st row of economy) do have extra legroom indeed, those are my favorite seats of economy as the bulkhead has an opening in the aisle seats and are quite comfortable.
the rest of the seats of row 5 probably have some extra legroom vs the rest of the seats but I am not completely sure of that.
I have flown on row 5 of the "new" 737s, I agree there is extra leg room due to the opening on the bulkhead below, but that bulkhead is considerably closer to row 5 than on the old 737s, the IFE display is like 15 inches from your face, and I felt it was a tight squeeze.
