You would be very hard-pressed to find anything comperable between the 124 and 210 chassis. I like the 210 chassis, not that hard to work on and much better looking IMHO than the 124 chassis. I'm not a big fan of the M104 motor for different reasons. The 210 chassis with the M119 motor (E420) is a fav of mine though.
Have been seeing some upper spring supports snapping off on the V8 and Diesel versions though, just break w/o warning, so a search on the topic here. Watch for leaking differentials on all of this vintage, especially 210's and 202's. Even the spring supports can be repaired of course, other than that they're pretty nice. If you are dead-set on a E320 inline, watch for head gasket leaks.
I like the 722.6 automatic, lots of grumbling about failures, but really by now, if it's gonna fail it probably has already.
