I would love to buy the C326BEE model, but can pickup a used C320BEE several years old for about half the cost of a new and discounted C326BEE. Anyone familiar with both amps?
Any major differences between older NAD C320BEE integrated amp and current C326BEE

I'm also wondering
did you find your answer?
I know the headphone output is 220ohms on the C320BEE and 62ohms on the C326BEE

I used to own the NAD C326BEE. Its not terribly great as it got extremely hot to the point that it caused reliability problems during summer.
Since you probably want to know sound quality, all I can say is that it isn't terribly clear sounding (you can easily argue that its veiled), at the very least compared to similarly priced pro-audio 2 channel power amps. Not remotely worth the money, especially when the chassis isn't even built particularly well compared to other middling entry level integrated amplifiers.
In all honesty, I don't think I've heard any sub-$1500 integrated amplifier that can hang with the best similarly priced pro-audio power amplifiers like the Crest CA2.
