What is better in snow, 2013 E or S Class?

So you im going to buy a new car for the winter.Either a 2014 E-Class 4matic or a 2013 S-Class 4matic. Im going to be driving it a lot, and its going to be driven in the snow often. I know i need a good set of winter tires, but my question is to those that might know, What would be better for the snow and why? My thought is that the e class is probably easier to drive in general but the s class has more weight...
