Exactly....thats my motto too. I have a K-Jetronic injection computer that I pulled from a euro 500SEL if anyone would like to buy it. (thought I'd throw that plug in here  ) I have 0 use for it but figured its valuable to the right person. 
I'd probably be perfectly happy if I had a gasser W126....but for daily driving it'd have to be one of the two smaller engines as I'd never be able to afford to feed a 420/500/560....or maybe I'd minimize my driving more....and it'd save me $$...who knows.
In the end I prefer diesel. They're just more awesome.
