I've had both the 190D 2.5turbo and the 300D 3.0turbo.

The 201 is a lighter tighter car to drive, it feels sportier.

The 124 is definately more car, more refinements and enough headroom for a 6'1" guy, has back-seat legroom and a real trunk. Better for hauling people. Slightly faster than the 201 w/ 602turbo, but it doesn't feel it.

So in my opinion, it's whether you want creature comforts or sporty feel more.
