Ok so C32 AMG 80K miles 2002 model OR CL500 2000 50K miles?

Man im finding thsi a hard one.

I LOVE my C32 but warrenty has ended and believ me I've had my issues and actually still have issues. SO along comes a CL500 - 2000 model with only 50K miles on it - full MB warrenty for another year.

Now the comparisons:
C32 AMG 354BHP 333 lb Ft torque @ approx 6000 rpm
CL500 306BHP 339 lb Ft torque @ approx 2500 rpm

C32 AMG city mpg 15 highway 21 and combined 17
Cl500 city mpg 15 highway 21 and combined 17

C32 AMG Insurance Group 19
CL500 Insurance Group 20 (£20 extra on insurance)

So really there isnt too much in it other than my C32 is so sporty but the CL500 is more like an old mans car - but I guess it does still have the power though.

I just dont know what to do - for god sake someone advise me
