I think there is more to it. I could be wrong but I believe it has to do also with how much faster we can get them on property versus the A320. I will try to find out the delivery dates.

30 total. 20 additional and 10 320 conversions, all with sharklets.

All in the 'new livery'? I quite liked the 'silver bullet' livery, looked rather sharp on the jet.

Deliveries set for 2015-2017 per Yahoo! article.

The 10 previously ordered aircraft that Spirit has opted to re-specify as A321s will be scheduled for delivery in 2017 and 2018.

All 30 of Spirit’s A321s, to be delivered between 2015 and 2018, feature Sharklet wing-tip devices and will be the first A320-family jets in North America to feature Airbus’ Space-Flex cabin option, which optimizes use of the available space at the very back of the aircraft

Yeah I suppose it's grown on me some what. I J/S on NK quite a bit and the crew usually share the sentiment. When seen at the gate together the prior scheme stands out but in unison, the new livery holds its own. I like that rendering of the A321 with sharklets.
