If I may reply:
I love the -700, it's fantastic albeit a bit noisy. But for a design that was born in the sixties it still is pretty good.
It flies to a max alt of 41000' and the times I've been behind an Airbus 319/320/321 you will outclimb them.
Displays are nice and you still have a yoke, if that's your thing
The only new announcement that has been made is that Stansted will convert to Airbus, who knows what the next base will be, I suspect Pitotheat is STN based, so he'll have the pleasure of the Bus sooner than me. grrrrrr
