Brake question (124vs210)

I just notices tonight that my factory calipers on my 124 is a 4 piston design. Why did they not carry this over to the 210?

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
w210 Lighter weight

the engine being all aluminum is far lighter and the car is lighter.
Having a few of both I like the ease of popping out pins and retracting the pistons and popping in new pads on the old girls W124's. Although 4 wear sensors seems to be a bit redundant.
You take a w124 up to 138mph and haul it down,you are glad the 4 piston calipers are up to the task

So can I get the calipers and rotors from the 124 on to the 210.

And yes. My 124 brakes way better than the 210.

So are the late W124 brakes avail to put on early W210? I understand the W210 is lighter, but I do like to toss the car around and use its power once and awhile.
