Ahh.........by your own posted specifications, the S-320 has more torque than the diesel. Sure, it may require a few more rpm's to get the peak torque, but the diesel doesn't have much torque below 2000 rpm's either.

I'll bet the driveability at low speeds would be identical, especially if the S-320 has slightly shorter gearing.
