The only differences are the airline not aircraft these days. All planes can be outfitted the same if the airlines so chose. Its the airline policy that decides everything from seat pitch to passenger entertainment to decor and food.
Airbus and Boeing design fuselages are largely identical - its what the airline does to the inside of it that matters not what factory built the aircraft.
Airlines can even decide the smoothness of the flight to an extent by its selection of route and slots. Again, nothing to do with the aircraft type (at least not for similar spec planes).
If i pay £20 for a return flight which happens often i usually find myself on an old 737 with sparse/tired looking decor, a free glass of water if im lucky and a seat pitch resulting in my knees rammed up my own nose. If i pay £250 for the same flight generally i get a better decked out aircraft regardless of type and a bit more luxuries. Whether its WORTH it for 2-3 hours is another matter.
And yes the so called "GPS unit" isnt. Quite simply it just takes the position from the planes INS (NOT the gps if it has one) and relayed it onto a customer friendly moving map.
I've flown boeing,airbus,Dehaviland and loads of others. If the airline is cheap the flight is cheap and nasty. If the airline wants to make things nice it will be regardless of what piece of aluminium you're stuck in.
