Hans Christian 43 vs. Liberty 458

Hi everybody,
I hope that you will forgive me for my imperfect english (I'm Italian !)

I'm looking to buy a 42 - 45 feet (pre owned) and now I'm idecided between two boats: the Hans Christian 43 (1990) and the Liberty 458 (1990).
If you know these boats, which of them prefer ? and why ?

The HCs are excellent. Not familiar with the other. What use do you plan for the boat?

My target is to live aboard for few years and sailing also in ocean passages. I am looking first of all to a solid and safe boat, possibly also comfortable. Having visited both boats I am sure that the Liberty is more spacious and more comfortable when you are at anchor, but I do not know if I can say the same when I'm sailing in rough sea.
