W210 - simpler car of the two. No hydraulics, gadgets, toys, etc. Not as nice a ride as a W140 but much cheaper to keep on the road. Can be taken to a mechanic once in a while without emptying your wallet.
W140 - amazing car, but complex. These cars were $100,000USD when new, and parts prices and repair frequency is still based on that. If you take it to a mechanic and start fixing stuff, it will get expensive FAST. But it's not a huge amount harder to work on than a W210
So if you do all your own work, W140. If you rely on dealers, mechanics and have limited sources for cheap parts, W210.

I never employ anyone to do anything if I can help it. I guess I'd have to get used to working with electrickery but other than that no great hurdles are expected. Famous last words!
