Neo Sharklets reduce VS1g so Vref which is 1.23 of that also reduces. Generally Flap3 speed in CEO is appx Vref+5 kts. If they keep that in Neo the approach attitude will increase so instead it's increased by 10kts. making it almost same as CEO. Not sure about 321 because I think 321 uses double slotted flap which may be reducing the attitude.
