Catalina Morgan 440 vs IP 420

My wife and I are looking for our first true cruising sailboat. We have sailed our entire lives, just not extensive cruising. The plan is to retire and do extensive coastal cruising (Bahamas, east coast). We love the toughness of the IP 420, the full keel, keel stepped mast, and the engine access. The Catalina Morgan 440 has excellent storage, a great deck salon feel. My concern is engine access on the Catalina Morgan 440. From the video it looks like engine access is in the floor, with very limited access to the sides of the engine. Looks like it would be difficult to work on the engine. Can anyone who has experience on the Catalina Morgan 440 tell me if I am right or wrong about the engine access?
Thanks!
