I spent 8 years on the 320 then 12 on the 330 and now back to the 320 again.

I find the 320 easier to fly an approach in than the 330. Sink rate is easier to control and it goes where you point it. The 330 only goes where you point it after a lengthy committee hearing.

But landing the 330 is easier. Different flare law and less flare needed. Its just a gentle tap of backstick and let it settle.

My suggestion in the 330, be very careful when correcting for being high on slope in the last 100-200. Sometimes its better to accept being slightly high than to build up a high sink rate trying to get back down.
