I've been told the Acro design "feels" like an extra 3-4cm or so. Remember as well the middle seat is wider than the aisle and window seats.

But unless the new back seat on the 321 is at least 5cm 'thinner' than the 320's seat back, then 88cm seat pitch must still be greater than 83cm seat pitch ... Anyway, proof of the pudding will be the actual experience.
Notes can then be compared.....

Other measures which affect space more than pitch are seat front to to seat in front. Front of cushion to seat to in front. As those will given you a better feel for how much space there is.

Why is it hanging out in the hangar for so long after arrival prior to its first revenue flight?
It irks me that I have never seen it while flying in and out of Auckland

Umm well pitch is just a single measure from the same point to the same point. It doesn't take into account shape etc.

I do find it interesting that ausbt regard the WiFi price as being expensive compared to other airlines - compare it to UA where it's US$15.99 for an hour, US$20.99 for 2 hours or US$26.99 for the entire flight on 4-5 hr United domestic flight including their p.s service between LAX and EWR.
