EQE vs EQS SUV windshield rake angle

Does anyone know if the EQS has a less steeply raked windshield than the EQE SUV?

I test drove an EQE500 SUV and did not love the combination of high beltline/dashboard sill with the rather steep rake angle of the windshield. It makes it feel somewhat claustrophobic and limits forward visibility. Yes, I am used to my G Wagon, which is the complete opposite and has amazing visibility, but I have read other reviewers complain about this too.
If the EQS is better in this regard, I would go that route, especially since it's basically the same cost to lease as an EQE now.

They look pretty much the same from this image:

But from a Gwagon, you'll have to really get used to it. It probably is going to be like going from a helicopter cockpit visibility to a jetliner cockpit visibility.
