I wonder if the 420SEL or 560SEL will run on less than premium and if so, what is the minimum octane rating that these engines will run? I run a lot of miles /year and I've started to see some deals with both cars.

I've heard Kaleb mention that his 560 was satisfied with less than premium, but am not so sure about the sixes. I'd probably try it with a partial tank - if it's unhappy with it, it'll let you know.
