There's no doubt that the 737NG is just a 737-200 in new clothes with a couple of new accessories. I haven't flown the A320 but I hear the 737 is more of a pilots plane. You can't fully rely on the automatics either, you it keeps you on your toes a bit more than the bus (again, no personal experience with the Bus, just what I've heard).
I think Boeing should really modernise the 737MAX cockpit, make it similar to that of a 787. But from what I've heard, it's not going to be that way. It's going to be a 737 in newer clothes....again. And they're going to shoot themselves in the foot by doing this.
As for the look of the cockpits. A320 is much cleaner and simple, but I like both cockpits. The one thing I really want in my Boeing is a tray table!!
