Difference in flare behavior between A330-200E and -300E + bonus question

Can someone enlighten me of the differences, if any, in flare technique (radio altitude, stick inputs, aim) between the A330-200E and the -300E? Or did Airbus manage to program the FBW in such a way that these aircraft behave exactly the same.

Bonus: how representative are full flight simulators these days to really give you the correct feel in this very sensitive part of the landing (flare). I mean, ground effect, subtle flight control movements, stick displacement, can this even be simulated correctly or do we accept the inherent limitations and fly a sim differently from the real a/c.

Thank you very much.
