From what I've heard, the newest series of SD160 (Series 8, perimeter seating), may have as much as a 10% improvement in capacity over previous models, while only losing something like 4 seats per car. It's just a much more efficient arrangement, mostly due to the aisles actually being navigable.

For sure.
Right now if you are getting off right as you get into downtown during morning rush hour, good luck getting out of your seat and getting to the door unless you start a stop early.
