To answer my own question: Seatguru might be wrong in its claim that rows 1-5 on the E-170 feature 36" pitch vs. 31" in rows 6-20. Had two flights in rows 4+5 on the E-170 and it def felt pretty crammed. Subjective feel of the legroom was more like 31". I wouldn't rule out the actual pitch is a tad higher (but not 36"). The seats were relatively thick; and a thicker seat translates into less legroom at given seat pitch.
