Sorry, had one been there done that. I liked my W124, but I'd have to say the W210 has a lot of plusses and is definitely not less rugged. The only two things I would criticize are the headliner (not as durable) and the crazy CAN bus which is like whack-a-mole for power windows. Maybe three: the phone is a museum piece just like the W124's.
The W124 was the pinnacle of what man could do with mechanics and analog alone, and The W210 was an acknowledgment that some things really are better with electronics.
