I'd say the issue between a 320 and 321 is the row that has the FA jump seat and the rows where the exits are located. 320's have double exit rows back to back while the 321 doesn't
But row 17 on both the XM and non-XM 321 as well as the 320 are non-exit rows, non jump seats, and non bulkheads. The only possible explanation seems to be weight issues, I was on a 319 that had balance issues for takeoff, so I assume its possible on the 320 as well.
