TCX 753 winglets

Just back from a week in Tenerife. Flew 753 gla-tfs with winglets (first time on a 753). Took off on rw 05 and did a circle north of glasgow before geting on track down the west coast. Once down in tfs we landed on rw26 first time this way and was a really smooth landing by the first officer Icbal (not sure his name sorry if its spelt wrong) Captain was Cpt lawson.
On return was with Cpt Ramsey and Fo Sweeney who flew us home with good announcments. With the wet/windy weather in Gla I was expecting the usual roller coaster landing I've normally had but again was pretty smoothish (for gla)
Unfortunalty the cabin was a bit tired and the pack them in seating aint good. For the first time in age's I've heard numerous pasengers complaining about the cramped conditions.
Couple of questions. How long have tcx had winglets on the 753's and do they make a diference?
For me the 75 series are the best looking aircraft around but is there a direct replacement for these old birds?
