Are all Virgin Australia economyX seats the same pitch on the 737-8

I’m retuning from Bali to Brisbane in September on the 737-8 and contemplating an EconomyX seat at $104 each for partner and I and I can choose from row 3,4,14 and 15. Do all of these seats have the same legroom? I’d assume the exit row has more room than row 3&4?

I’ve also see a lot of positive comments about row 3, although if you have the middle seat you end up with less leg room due to the business class seats and also a view between the business class seats, so wouldn’t row 4 be better?

I’m 192cm tall so exploring this option rather than cramming into a standard seat.

I booked Jetstar on the way over with extra leg room, it’s much cheaper than Virgin, it was a no brainer.

Row 3 every time from Bali, there is more room. The view to business depends on whether it is the brand spanking new jets or not.
 
The middle seats in Row 3 on the newer ones are pretty pants. I would not give them any money for that seat!!
