Bias opinion here......
There are 2 things that stand out in the 310, the large forward berth (we sleep with our heads at the pointy end) and the huge cockpit. As stated earlier, the party often ends up on our boat....more room than most. Then we added the folding wheel! A friend with a Dufour 36 Grande says that he wishes he had our cockpit in his boat, same comment from a friend with a 33 Bavaria...all boats are 2001/2002. The galley is acceptable, but this is the one area that my wife comments on...not enough storage. We have cruised for up to 3 weeks, but of course stopped often and replenished. Did a 3 day cruise last year with 5 adults on board, stayed at other clubs so used BBQs and picnic tables most of the time, and there is room for 5 to sleep.
Every boat is a compromise, the 320 has a larger galley and aft berth, but those are not the areas that are most important to me.
My boat will not be for sale anytime soon, can't see a replacement that gives me what I have for the $$$$.
Cheers
