E Performance or no?

Finally getting around to figuring out a temporary ride until they release the new E63S, if they ever get around to it. I'm spending more time on the road than usual, and the G is not great. Its actually miserable on the freeway. I'm thinking of a 2 year car until the new E comes out, and these GT's look interesting. Or the CLE63, that looks great too, but they're really slow playing it. I just read that the GT 4door is discontinued indefinietly, so MBZ will only have the S and the C for four door sedans until they release the E? Who knows.

The question is, do I need a 24+ E Performance or can I just buy a 23 63S for $50K less? Besides the insane power boost, is there any other reason to go with the newer model? Seems like almost everything else is the same.

Anyone here have both? Which do you prefer?

Probably not E Performance model specifically, MB is discontinuing the E Performance model on multiple models, they already done that on the C 63 S E Performance as well as the S 63 E Performance on the facelift W223 they are probably discontinuing the SL 63 E Performance after facelift as well.
Perhaps it is too heavy and too complicated or it was due to not being Euro 7 compliant.
