I would say that the .300 wm would be closer in a line-up behind your .270.
I went with a .338 wm because my line-up includes a 7MM RM, and I wanted a magnum that could take care of brown bears as well.
I hope to buy a .270 & a .300 wm someday, just to fill-in any gaps.
Good luck with your decision !
You already said the most important thing; in that, the rifle fits you well !!!
Don't make too much of OTHERS talk of "percieved" recoil !
