The Dilemma

I have been reading these boards for over a year now, and wanted to thank you all for all of the valuable advice you have given me, and for the countless hours you have saved me in restoring and upgrading my Seaward 23. I have not owned her for even a year yet, but I am sold on Seaward boats after having owned several other sailboats. However, I am faced with a Dilemma now because I have just completed a total remodel and upgrade of my Seaward 23, but am finding it is a little too small for all I want to do with her, and have my eye on the Seaward 32 now, with a girlfriend eagerly pushing me to go bigger too.
I am wondering if others have found themselves in this situation too? Should I keep her and enjoy the fruits of my labor or sell her and upgrade to her larger sister ship, the 32? I keep going back and forth, and am torn, and just looking for a little advice once again.
Thanks,
Scott
