QOL varies considerably within each airplane/base combo. The 7ER is a more capable for long ranges and larger loads. If you like transcons with large city layovers that is your plane. If you like shorter flights to the burgs and villes, the 320/73N has more of that flying. You will get a better taste of international on the ER, which could help when it comes time to chose between WB B and NB A.
