Which has better MCE, 757 or A321?

Sorry if has been answered before. Searched and couldn't find an answer.

DFW to MIA, I can choose between a 757 or an A321 flight. Which one you would recommend for MCE?

Thanks,

Which A321 - LAA or LUS?

My personal ranking for MCE:
LAA 321
AA 757
LUS A321

Sorry, wasn't aware about the two versions. It's 32B. AA 1462. So that would be LAA, I understand, right?

Check the section between first cabin and the second door. If 4 economy rows in that section, it is LUS; if 3 rows it is LAA.

I'd choose the 757 flight, to enjoy that aircraft as much as I can before it is retired.

I'd pick the 757 for reasons having to do with the MCE.

I find the 321 a *horrible* plane. The WiFi generally sux, probably because that is the way everyone is getting their IFE and it seems the aisle is narrower or something because it takes a lot longer to unload IME than the 757. I hope I never have to fly a 321 again; sadly that is not going to be the case.

I prefer A32B (LAA) for the IFE at each seat - and in particular, seats 9D and E, where the IFE is in the armrest. Antique, center aisle 757 CRT displays are a joke.
