Airbus has a much different design philosophy than Boeing.
Airbus produces aircraft that can be flown by companies of countries that do not have a constant flow of well trained and experienced pilots.
Examples:
1.The airbus aircraft can’t be aerodynamically stalled. 2.The pilot does not have to “trim” the airplane.
3.The pilot does not move the throttles after setting takeoff power. The “computer” sends all power signals to the engines, not the throttles.
It is a good airplane but it is not a “pilot’s airplane.”
I would stick with Boeing.
