I agree, the W126 has far superior build quality.

Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
I would not get a 320se in the w140. Very puny six cylinder. At the minimum I would recommend a 500sel in the w140 range. The build quality of the 500sel is simply amazing. Truly the last great Mercedes ever made. The newer ones just don't do it. That said, I'm still in the search for the right 2003-06 S600....
