I would go for the E500 for sure. E500/500E is very unique Mercedes. And in the future, there might not be one Mercedes that's as unique as this one. Sure C43 has alot more goodies, and might be more nimble to toss around when compare stock-to-stock with E500, in the long run, I think you will be more satisfy with E500's rare-breed nature, and excellent power.
