E63 vs CLS63

Looking to get into a lightly used E63 or CLS63.

For those of you who had the same decision to make in the past, what swayed you to the CLS?

Any things I should look out for? Options which are must-have?

I decided on the CLS63 over the E63 because of the styling, inside and out, just appealed to me way more than the E63, they are otherwise the same car

Like Steinhart it was the styling. Mostly interior styling. Also the CLS uses better materials inside than the E. E has more plastics and hard surfaces while the CLS uses foam backed stitched leather from the dash all the way down to where the carpet starts so it all has a real nice soft feel to it.

X3 - styling and the fact that it is rare to see CLSs on the street.
There are only 2 models in the US and the base one is at least 75K.
Compared to the E where there are plenty of E350s, the CLS feels much more special.
