HELP... CL63 vs CL65 which one should I be considering?

As the topic suggests, based purely on the cars and the issues they might develop as daily cars, which one should I be considering?

I know the CL65 is rarer, but the 63 is "better sounding" (subjective). what are the possible engine issues of each? maintenance differences? cost of parts? ease of finding parts?
what are the best exhausts for either of these cars? can you make the 65 sound better than the 63?

If you like the sound of turbos and air releasing from BOV's, yes. I would take the sound of my SL600 over any car on the road. It is absolutely sick. Down pipes, straight through exhaust, and aftermarket BOV's just make the car sound insane. Not to mention, it's crazy fast.

Mine is not loud. You can hear it but it is definitely not like your typical aftermarket 4 cylinder turbo BOV. The V12 biturbo sounds are really intixicating if the mods are done right.

I had the same dilemma 5 months ago. I went for the CL63 AMG. Only because I couldn't find right 65 ... to be honest, I don't regret. Love the V8.

neither, finding one with low mileage and tip top condition is impossible (at least in Dubai). I found one CL500 but I wanted an AMG
