It IS funny that we're tire kicking just as you say.
In the audio which Jeff Hare posted on the 320 website, Gerry says:
The hull is the same shape
The weight is the same
The weight distribution is the same
The sailplan is the same
and I think he summarized the above to say that performance is the same. And he said that was done to preserve the one-design characteristics of the class.
Presumably the transom changes are above any expected waterline if they are to have no effect

Do you realize that we all (including me) sound like a bunch of newbies
at a boat show? The only thing we haven't asked is "How many does it
sleep?" We have talked about splash guards, hanging lockers, head room,
etc.
What about performance? What does the new stern due for performance,
steering, handling, etc?

Bummer, I need 2 more inches in the main cabin...that would have made
the boat perfect. I don't care about headroom in the aft cabin. You only
sit or lie down there anyway. Same goes for the head, especially without
a hook to hang the shower head.
