Stick with your 190E. Cheaper and easier in the long run even without maintenance, and maintaining an extra car as a daily driver, will be more costly in the long run. Consider insurance as well, plus the time to maintain an additional car.
I agree with everything you said, except that where i live, the bottom line 87 octane costs $3.71, whereas the cheapest diesel #2 is $3.62. so these days i drive the 300d a bit more often than my 190e
