The parts cost of the 126 (pre '86) versus all W123 is nearly identical. The W126 has a few extra features such as power seats and outside temperature display, but, effectively, the maintainance costs will be just about identical.
The larger W126 can be easier to work underneath the hood because of the additional space.
