Performance vs Comfort 50-foot Cats - real difference

[eneas]

Hi, struggling with a major decision we need to make as we consider buying a new ~50-foot cat for family of 4.
(a) Option A: Performance cat - Outremer 55 or HH52
(b) Option B: Comfort Cruiser cat - Privilege 510

Our choices in both options are top-tier cats with premium build qualities, great safety features (compared to production cats), excellent finish, etc. Pls do not suggest other brands - we looked them all and these are our choices in terms of design, interior, features etc.

The Privilege 510 has substantially more storage space, bigger cabins, more luxurious beds, feels like a proper "home" on the ocean, fits all the toys and gadgets and some more.

Outremer and HH are top Performance cats but still with great attention to detail and both very spacious saloon but with smaller cabins and significantly less storage.

Since most of the time is spent in anchor at various islands and coastlines and much less actually doing long crossings, I wonder how much really does one benefit from a performance cat in the long-run by sacrificing a significant amount of comfort?

An important criterion for me was to be able to sail at light winds already (6-8 knots). While performance cats can do this easily, it seems to me with a good sail plan (adding a screecher etc) one could do decent sailing even with a more comfort cruising cat?

Although I know ultimately this is personal preference, we've been back-and-forth on this topic my mind is hurting so some extra thoughts or opinions would be very welcome to get some additional perspectives / angles.

Many thanks in advance!
