W219 vs W218

Currently have an '08 Diamond White Edition 1 in 550 AMG and thinking about upgrading to a CLS 63. Would you W219 CLS 63 owners weigh in on your thoughts - would you do it again and what would you opt for if doing it over? Or would you opt for the 2012+ turbo models?

2011 CLS63 AMG
I love my 2011 and for the price I would stay with it. Now if I could have found a 2012 with the same miles and price I would have probably bought it. But unfortunately the price jumps about 10k from the 2011 to the 2012.
