I understand wanting a backup baler. We've been using a 273 for a few years, baler didn't miss and was reliable however it was getting worn and didn't make nice consistent bales. We found a 315 for a decent price, but it didn't work out as well as we'd hoped. The hydraulic tensioner had a little bit of a learning curve to it. The different kicker designer seemed to burn strings much easier. Needless to say, I think the 273 may have baled more squares than the 315 this year. It was good to have the backup.
Big differences are:
315 is a good bit bigger and heavier.
315 feeder finger assembly is completely different than the 273
315 is much quieter
315 can take more hay at a faster rate. We were having a good bit of issues shearing pins with the 273 before the 315 came.
315 kicker design to be able to fold up and drop on the ground is a great feature.
315 seems slightly more complex in the drive mechanisms for pickup, feed, etc.
