Default Comfortable cruising

Take a 32'Gulf Pilothouse at 16k #s with full keel and 10' beam vs a 38'
Ericson at the same displacement but fin keel and 12' beam.
I realize the Ericson is going to be faster but which will be the more
comfortable boat in a blow?
Am I wrong to assume the Erickson will act more like a cork on the waves?
Thanks
Gordon
