American Platinums and United Golds, both which are the second tier of their status levels (aka the Delta Gold-equivalent) get their respective version of Comfort+ at booking. Not at Delta though.

ua's c+ equivalent doesn't include adult beverages, and I;m always just as floored by this as when I first found out.

As a 1k you get a free snack and drink. It sort of balances out. DL doesn't give away snack boxes but I might get two drinks. Maybe.

If you are going to fly a lot just be prepared to be disappointed. It is a lot easier.

Even with the higher level requirement for DL, I would say AA is the worst of the three in actually being able to select an extra legroom seat.

Yes, fair point on the exit row on DL, that's a bit of a consolation. I don't really consider the offerings "very" different, really just minor F&B. I have very little recent experience with AA MCE, but UA E+ definitely has lots of availability as it's lots of rows. DL C+ isn't great unless you're booking well in advance.
