Comfortable in the left seat, but looking for some feedback between the 737 and Bus.. I'd be upgrading at 1 year & 500hrs on property.

737 Pros-

Already typed (Prior SWA)
Slightly better seniority/movement (ATM)
Subjectively speaking, slightly better trips/overnights

Cons:

Cockpit/Cabin
Arguably more fatiguing to fly

320 Pros-

Quieter/ more comfortable = less overall fatigue at the end of the day

Cons:

New airplane and learning Airbus brain logic from the left seat
Trips slightly less desirable
Bottom of the barrel seniority with no cushion

Appreciate the thoughts, Thanks all!
Airbus is easy. Trips should get better with the neos. Still some valid points for the 73 and bus but I don’t think the cons are as bad as you think.
