Absolutely. Add to that the fact that M104 wouldn't fit under the hood of an ML320 (I'm not sure about the M119 dimensions, but I understand its a big motor compared to the M113) and that's pretty much the reasoning.
I get to compare an M104 to an M112 on an almost daily basis. Both engines have their plusses and minuses. But the M104 definitely sounds and feels more sporting.
