Why C63 > E63?

I always hear that the C63 is wild beast while the 2010-11 E63 is a luxury cruiser. Is the experience between the 2 that different? I figure the sports suspension on the E63 should even up the handling. I checked the weights of the cars and it's only within 150lbs(I've heard 300 lbs difference) of each other. It seems like both cars should feel and perform similarly if the E63 has the sport suspension option.

Yes
It's not a question of lap times, or body roll, or a stiffer suspension, or anything else. You can feel the car is heavier, longer, and just feels larger overall inside and out. It's not that it doesn't burn around a track, it doesn't turn, it doesn't perform, it's that it FEELS different in all the ways we are describing.
