Check the ratio of wheel base to length. 55% or higher is good. 50% is much worse. Below 50% is horrible (and possibly dangerous).
This seems to make a world of difference. We have a 31 footer (well, it is 31'4" feet) with a 220" wheel base which puts us at 58.5%. Not something we paid attention to when we bought, but I think we were just very lucky with our choice. We have never had any handling problems that I read about, and I believe it is due to the nice big wheel base.
And your question about the difference between driving a 27' and a 31' - honestly, I don't know because I've never driven a shorter class C but I can't imagine it is much different. We towed a 26' trailer with a half ton truck previously (which was 15'), so 31' travel length was actually shorter for us, much easier to change lanes, etc...and we weren't even that long in the big scheme of travel trailers.
