Consider your slip fees. They go up as the size increases. Every time I prep the bottom of my boat I'm thankful it's only 27 feet. Anti-fouling paint is pricy and you'll more than double the amount needed and 4x the time involved. Substantial upgrades on a 30 vs a 42 are easier. Consider replacing #21 2 speed Barient winches with self trailers for $700 each vs $2000 a piece for the ones for the landfall. Beautiful boat but really make sure you can afford all aspects before jumping in, otherwise you will despise it and never achieve that special love affair we all share. I can't say with any first hand knowledge but I would think riding out a storm on the 42 would be a lot more comfortable than a 30 but as others have said if you are learning how to sail, the smaller boat will make you a better sailor. A well set up 30 can be singlehanded even with a spinnaker but I'm not sure if anyone does any solo kite flying on a LF 42 Whatever you decide you're sailing and that's what counts.
