The 16v is much friendlier on the wallet. I know, I've had both here in the States.

Where in Bristol do you live? I was there last week, I lived in Bristol until I was 25.
Actually, I'm finding the mileage to be better on the 500E than on my 16v...but that could be indicative of my driving habits in the 16v
