I've got customers I've set up with both. Nothing wrong with either. Only buy the TS3200 if you are certain your environment will never require more than 2 drives, or more cartridge capacity; it's not expandable.
The TS3310 is more robust and expandable to full rack height and many drives (I've gone through 3 customer expansions, it's very straightforward.) Base unit has 6 slots in the I/O door, TS3200 only 3. Drivers & setup for use with TSM is the same. It's all about your requirements.
