The difference comes down to this: do you want to go fast and play boy racer, or do you want to have a better, more luxurious car? It really is that easy. There isn't a single person on this forum that can answer that for you. If there was a definitive best, it would require eliminating subjective factors, and there would be only 3 or 4 cars in the world. You know the qualities. Look hard at them and make your choice, based on your interests.
I agree whole-heartedly with these comments. We had the exact same choice to make, a C43 vs an E450, both would have been estates/wagons. We had an E350 estate/wagon and was very happy with it, so the replacement certainly had big shoes to fill.
We chose the C43 and I can honestly say I am ecstatic with our choice. The E450 is definitely more stately and luxurious, but the C43 is a whole lot of fun to drive.

As Howyalivin mentioned, only you can decide, and it is a tough choice, both have their merits. Good luck with what ever you choose.
