getting one of each....
The 300 and 330 part of VAX6300 and VAX6330 refer to number & speed
of the processors. If I'm not mistaken, they both live in the same type
box.
Rackmount VAX6000 cabinet:

Plus you'd have the expansion cabinets - this chassis is just CPU & RAM.
I understand that the rackmount VAX6000 is a lot less common than the
full cabinets, but I've never seen the other. I *think* the cabinet
model is about the size of a DEC7000:

There's no size reference there, but that cabinet is about 5'8" tall,
36" deep, and about 40-42" wide.
One of my friends will suffer apoplexy if you score a rackmount 6330....
