I find the 175 to be superior in terms of comfort to narrowbody mainline aircraft. The huge windows give it a bright, airy, open feeling, and Delta's economy seating in the 175 feels more roomy than a SWA 737. And you know that seating is the airline's choice, not the airplane manufacturer's...
I've flown all over the planet on many different carriers and all I'm saying is the economy seats are horrible in the 175. Might be okay for a 30 minute flight, anything beyond that and the seats are completely inadequate(not talking about the amount of space, but the complete lack of any lumbar support or cushioning for the posterior).
