You are right about the 120 sounding easy. I use 120 when I figure I am just going to coat it with another coat that will easily fill in the scratch marks from 120. The I can sand that coat with something finer before applying the subsequent coat. I would save 320 for just before the final coat, and even then 220 might do well if just brush painting.
