Think about how wide the centre console is between A and C or D and F on a 320/737. Cut that by several inches. That's where they achieved most of the space savings to fit the same 4-across seats in a narrower fuselage. The seats are about 1 cm narrower than the 7M8 and 1.5 cm narrower than the 320 family, even though AC rounds them all to 21". I've flown J on DL's 221s, which have the same 20.5" seat width as AC's. I'm a big guy, so I notice it a bit, but many people probably wouldn't.

Not sure what AC's DC9 seats were like, but DL's 717 J seats are 50 cm / 19.6" wide, so if AC's were similar, the 220 will be a bit of an upgrade.
