Default Differences between the 357 and the 382

What are the differences between the 357 and the 382 (non-Fastech)? I know about the swim platform being integrated, but what else?

I really like the classic lines of the older 272, 292, 311 and 357 series. I need some of ya'll to "sell" me on the newer stuff!

From what I've seen, $20-30K.

integrated matrix system instead of a wooden keel/stringer = no dry rot is the biggest advantage.

What exactly is an "integrated matrix system"? Sounds like a great big difference! No rot! But, I haven't heard any complaints about rot on Formula's (at least on the one's that are taken care of).

Look for the thread by Offthefront about his 311. Audiofin's thread on his 302. From the Formula brochures:
