Based on the M100 level of tech, the W140 is a technical disaster
with massive economic impact to a future owner. The S600 is twice
as complex as the standard model, as it would be loaded with bells,
whistles and subsystems that can not be hand crafted in the manner
one could with a Grosser. Door locks, closing assist, ACC, ESP, Air
ride, magic windows, heated seats, moving rear seats, rear seat
business tech upgrades, and the over engineered engine with
biodegrading wire. All in a shell that looks the same as any other
W140 on the road, unless it is LWB. Even then it looks much the
same.
I posit the w126 will be held in much higher esteem than a w140 as
collectable in future. The SEC and SEL were built much better, with
higher quality systems. Far fewer computers to go wonky, and still
put together by well trained German employees.

Singin to the choir my friend. 126 and the 600 Grosser represent the
postwar epitome of MB engineering of their eras.
