They both have the pros & cons and I am guessing they end up being about the same price.
Depend on what you want to do, collect or fulfill a wish. But seriously, if you're looking for a car this old, 90% of people would want stock.

Your set went to a buddy of mine...the set in the picture I purchased from a seller in LA. Completely re-did them. They are perfect but I have way too much into them...

If it makes you feel any better, a big part of me greatly regrets selling them.

happy to hear you snagged a good gem! I look forward to hearing about your happy ownership. What do you plan on doing with the car? Modifications or stock? Daily drive or garage queen?

I'm also very happy to hear that people out there are starting to pay attention to the w202 AMG. Hopefully this will trigger a stabilization of the failing market for these cars. I found what has to be the only 2 C43's in TN going for PENNIES because they were undervalued, case in point: https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...90k-miles.html

I'm really leaning toward a stock car.

18 inch wheel upgrade would be great. Mild mods, maybe. I'd be very unlikely to buy a car with a motor swap.

that's a very good deal! 6800 for 118k miles, tuxedo interior, and in great shape? awesome.
