First off, we shouldn't be comparing our size in 2030 and 325. Many people go half to full size down from brannock (no real majority one way or another) on 2030. The 325 is a true to size fitting last. The majority will take one size down from their brannock given it's UK sizing and only a handful will take half size down and usually because they have a wide foot. While it is a voluminous last (higher instep/higher toe box) it is not a long last by any means.
I don't know, maybe some people like me, especially here on this forum, are so familiar with their 2030 sizing and in particular the characteristics of the fit, that it's easy to relate to. My situation is exactly 8-3/4 on a Brannock, so half or a full size down can be very hit or miss, since its more like 1/4 or 3/4 down.
