Suggestions welcome.

That sounds like a good economic solution. You may want to drive a sedan with an OM602 in it first. There is at least one member on here who has had 124s with OM603s and one with an OM602. He sold the OM602 because he felt it was under powered. That was in a sedan, I believe you are talking about installing it in a wagon.
I would price a good used head. One problem with that route is the while I'm in there costs can get really expensive.
On OM606 with turbo and intercooler would be nice, but that's a bit more complicated.
