I own each and the 1995 E320 is quicker than the 1992 300CE, and is more refined due to the lower revving engine.

Just a note for more accuracy, the 1993 300E also got the HFM-SFI 3.2 liter M104 engine. It shares the same chassis code as 94-95 E320's --- 124.032.
MB didn't change the badging nomenclature until 1994, so in 1993 300E's with the 3.2 liter engine were badged as simply 300E.
1993 300E's with the 2.8 liter M104 engine were badged as 300E 2.8.
In the rest of the world there wasn't a badging error as they were badged 320E or 280E.
