That's why I asked the question in the first place.
The seating configuration and comfort of any particular aircraft has much more to do with the airline flying that aircraft than the type of aircraft it is.
As stated above, the seats on CO's 757-200s are exactly the same as on the 737s: 31" of pitch, 17.2" of width.
However, CO has generously outfitted its 757-300's with an extra inch of pitch in coach -- 32".
The 31" of pitch is nothing to write home about and is more or less the standard pitch on most of the major U.S. carriers, with AA's MRTC and UA's E+ the exception (actual legroom may vary depending on the "thickness" of the seat). Of course AA has reconfigured all of its 757's to standard 31" pitch, so it's "cramped" compared to most of their other equipment.
But the extra inch of pitch on the CO's 753s is actually pretty noticeable, so it shouldn't be bad at all.
