Considering w140 any tips?

I have been considering a w140 sedan for quite some time now. I currently drive a 1982 300SD and love the reliability and road feel of the car. I have read conflicting information regarding the 140's. Some sources indicate build quality that surpasses my 126 and some sources indicate lots of problems and expensive parts. Im not afraid of spending money to keep a quality car running but I am wondering if the upgraded features and comfort level are really worth the added expense. Since I drive a diesel every day Im not concerned with power or performance so I am considering the 320 or the 300 engine. I like the styling of the late 97 and on sedans but also would like to avoid the complications of the OBDII emissions system in 96 and later cars if possible. Which would be better a late model S320 or an early S300 or 300SEL/SE Any tips from you veteran 140 drivers out there?

Here are some photos of my 126 http://beostar.paunix.org/newmbzpics
