I’ve only flown the 321neo with Frontier and been inside Spirit’s but I know AA has the mid cabin lav back there and extra legroom seats.
Someone please check my calcs, but I got, for UA's configuration:

20 F, 180 Y (between 57 E+ and 123 Y) = 200

In comparison, AA's Neo is configured at 20 F, 176 Y = 196. AA does have the exit aft of the wing, with the mid-cabin lav there, but they blocked one overwing exit so there's only one exit row over the wing.

DL's Neo is 20 F, 174 Y = 194. Similar to UA with two overwing exits and the mid-cabin lav immediately behind F.

If my reading of the UA seat map is correct, congrats to UA for coming out with the most dense version of this plane amongst the US3, while having the most extra legroom coach seats. ;-/ Regular Y is going to be TIGHT
