Default What is better about the ride in a 350 compared to a 330?

I am considering buying an ES 330.
I used to lease a 2010 350, and absolutely loved it.

How does a 330 ride compared to a 350?
What was changed in the 350, to make it better?
I have only done one test drive at a Lexus dealer of a 2006 330 a few days ago,
and the ride was floaty and the acceleration was not as smooth as the ES 350.
It was not as good as the 2010 350 that I leased a few years ago.

I did 2 test drives of a 350 recently, a 08 and 07, and in both cases it was exactly how I remember my 2010 es,
very solid, smooth, quiet ride with no imperfections to what I would say is a flawless experience.

How would a 330 compare to that assuming it is in excellent condition?
What would be the differences?

They have terrible transmission shift lag. That is why I got rid of mine.
