Right now both flights are listed as 737-800 aircraft. Curious if this is something that will change closer to flight time (way out).

When looking at the flights this month they seem to be flown by a mix of 737-900 and 737 MAX 9 aircraft.

I am currently booked in seat 7A for both flights. Should I like to move to 7F or a different seat in case the aircraft type changes? 7ACE dont exist in the 900 or MAX9.

Thoughts on if I should move now so I am not left with a late seat change with possibly limited selection?

On the 737-900 seats 7DEF are blocked until closer to flight, so you could pick one of them but if the airframe changes you could be moved somewhere random (within E+). Just keep an eye on it.
