Is the 383 a better engine, or does the 440 just have more displacement?

I had three 383 B-Bodies, all which were the 335 horsepower RR/Super Bee engines. On one end of the scale was a unmodified RR with an automatic and 3.23s. A nice running car that was my daily driver for a couple years. No big hot rod, but could get out of it's own way. A very different car was my '69 Super Bee with a 4 speed, 4.10s, headers, Crane Fireball cam and springs, Eddie single plane intake, Holley 780, and a junkyard electronic ignition. That car ran good, but kept me broke taking all my money for gas and tires.
