A sedan with those specs would be my preference. Mercedes automatic HVAC from that era is crap. Japanese cars completely kick Benz's butt when it comes to HVAC. My wife's 1998 Accord has better HVAC than my 1985 300D or my 1999 BMW ever had.
Yeah the w123 a/c is horrible. I too wish I could have those options but in a wagon. I had a four speed manual in my garage from a euro 300D but just sold it; I can't justify taking out a good tranny from one of my two wagons to put in the manual. As xlimodriver's wagon shows you don't need to spend that kind of money but someone could. I like your taste in cars
