Yes, might work if they are planning bigger wing, still don't like the boarding part...
The A322 would have a much larger wing. Thrust from the engine would be much more thrust. The wheel struts would be a lot taller. The A322 would have all the issues of the A321 fixed. It would be like a 757 but better.
