Just a question, when sanding do you go 80-220-320 or is it a typo and actually 80-120-220? I usually go 80-120-seal-150-prime-220. 320 for unfinished softwood seems pretty fine.
I go 80 - 220 .. the 320 is mainly around the edges where i dont want the "rough stuff" to splinter the edge, same goes around the belly holes, lip slot... so the plug gets a quick "once over".. .. after sealing I give it another quick one over with the 320 and again after priming, I hit the plug with 320 before the final paint..my finishes wear like iron.. so I'm happy with the results...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
