Peter,
I think an important factor to consider is whether you will be maintaining the car yourself, or taking it to a service tech. From your post, it sounds like you'll be doing the latter.
If that's the case, then upgrading may not be a bad idea. In my humble opinion, one of the great features of the 124/201 is the ease with which a DIYer can service them. But if you're predisposed to taking it to a shop, then that's not such a great selling point. If you have a good tech who remains current on modern cars, then service costs will likely not be that different.
Just my 2 cents... arguably worth that.
