Not sure why you would be considering the 737 Max over the 320 NEO. The Neo is a far superior aircraft in many respects let alone cabin comfort and size.
I'm not so sure about that, I've traveled extensively on both and frankly I find the A320 whiny and uncomfortable. For me however, one of the advantages of the A320 is the ability to carry ULDs... it would mean there would be no need to retrofit magic carpet in the holds and make for quicker turnarounds (as long as if they choose the A320neo they don't do the monumentally stupid thing Ansett did and pay more to have the IHS taken out...!!!) and provided the A330 work is absorbed by a newer widebody and to some extent, the 320, then there shoudn't be a massive need for additional GSE at key airports.
