Help me choose. Hunter 30 or Pearson 34

Hi
I am finally buying a boat. It has been 10 years since the last one. The price is right. I have found a decend 1981 Hunter 30 with lots of equipment. However I also ran accross a 1983 Pearson 34 (centerboard). Both are going for the same price and will require T.L.C. and some updating.
I am leaning towards the bigger boat since I had a Columbia 30 and think that bigger is better (in this case). I need opinions on which way to go.
Personally, I think the Pearson will have a better resale than the Hunter.

I realize that we all have our preferences. I will be sailing mostly solo or with one helper in coastal S.C. Some overnight trips.

Thank you for your imput.
