the 757 truly is a hot rod compared to the other NB.
but the interior on that 320 is soooo comfy, and the displays are better. 😁
NoDeskJob pretty much nailed it. The 320 is a very easy, very comfortable workspace. But performance wise it is...uninspiring, the 321 especially so. The brakes are always hot. Rather than purposefully CLIMBING to cruise altitude, it gently drifts aloft with the urgency of an old Frenchman headed to his favorite cafe on a lazy afternoon. It feels like Airbus looked at performance certification requirements as guidelines rather than the bare minimum needed to get it certified. Just a little more wing, a little more power and a little more brakes and it'd be a vastly superior airplane. And for the love of god, brighten up the screens! Just my two cents.
