The w123 is easier to work on.
The w124 is a better driver.

After that, you won't win the mpg game unless you go diesel. In the w123diesel, you'll see low to mid 20s for mpg, with the w124 diesel, you'll see high 20s for mpg (depends on the year). For a w124 gasser, you'll see low 20s, for a w124 wagon you'll see low, low 20s.

I would love to commute a wagon, but when the thing gets 19-20 highway and my suburban gets 16, there isn't much of a reason to buy one. Shame that.
