Nobody knows for sure. But the DEN73FO has ~290 spots, DEN320FO has ~220. There is 70 more 73FO's who could switch bases or seats to give you a spot in Denver. There are more 73 orders on the books, and they're being delivered every 2-3 days while the 320's are getting pushed further and further back. The better bet is the 73. Even if you chose wrong, you're looking at maybe a 2-3 month difference? That isn't ideal but it's not exactly catastrophic.
