Sure? They're both pretty good cases. I think it just comes down to which one you like the look of more.

I just got my Meshify C from Fractal Design in today and absolutely love it. I just built my PC in in it a few hours ago and it's cable management is god like. Also the airflow is far superior to the two you are deciding between.

I have not built it yet but should i switch out my Phanteks P400S for a NZXT S340 Elite?

If yes or no, tell me why please

It is 100% up to you.

 

But in my humble opinion, I would go for the Phanteks Eclipse P400 Tempered Glass over the NZXT S340 Elite. I have friends that own both of the cases and I honestly dont like the look of the S340.

 

But again, its your opinion that matters. You'll have to live with it!

Would Meshify C be a better choice for me then?

I don't know your components so it's tough to recommend considering how compact it is for a mid-tower case. Like you cannot have a long GPU if you want to have a radiator in the front (but obviously you can have front fans). It supports up to 7 Fans, which is what attracted me to it.
