Generally seated in rows 18-21, but occasionally as far forward as 15 and as far back as 25.

.

my experience resembles that. And yes, they start with 18-21 on a 320 (not sure if other plane types differ). So booking early I mostly get those mediocre rows but very rarely a middle. Later you may get a less central row (better for disembarkation through either door) but chances of a middle seem to ncrease.
