Keeping the "pedigree" is just so much more elegant, especially if you want to have it serviced, and of course re-sale.
I have a M104 AMG powertrain in my W124 wagon, along with 500E calipers, master cylinder, brake booster, swaybars, and springs, so when I have on occassion dropped it off to the dealer or my local tech, they don't freak-out, and they usually have the parts on hand.
