A321 seating confusion!

I am booking a flights for my family to Orlando and am trying to get the best seats that I can but I am confused at the info I am getting from the different seat sites.

The row in question is 5, the row behind the FC bulkhead.

My go to, seatguru, has row 5 as limited legroom.
Seatmaestro has row 5 as extra legroom.
Seatexpert has row 5 as increased legroom.

I normally side with seatguru, but what's the deal? Anyone have any input? Thanks.

The best seats, IMHO, are 10C and 9D (and then the seats next to them, 10B and 9E).

Agree on row 10, but if Exit rows are not an option, row 5 is better than a standard seat. Some (not a lot) of extra leg room and no one in front to recline into you.

And they are all correct!

The bulkhead gives you less room to extend your legs since you can't put your feet under a seat. Yet there is also no seat in front of you to recline into your knees. So it all comes down to the definition of "legroom"...

Agreed on 10C and 9D. I prefer 10A to 10B though - I don't like middle seats.
