The seats in a MB seem at first impression, to be too firm and unforgiving.
And some people form that 1st impression and never give them a chance. But
if they can be convinced to ride in them for an hour or more they almost
always become converts and realize how comfortable they are.
Just as you described - they are supportive and comfortable for even the
longest drives.
Congratulations on your new purchase! Maybe you'll find that SDL you've
been looking for?? Then you'll have the beginnings of a fleet of W126's!

Subject: [MBZ] I love my 126
Back in January/February I bought a 1990 300SEL. This car has the M103
engine for which many people have strong opinions (both good and bad).
Well, I really enjoyed the car, it is roomy and extremely well appointed
and comfortable. Plus, I just think it is a good looking car. At any
rate, I was ready for the slow acceleration from the 3.0 six cylinder.
After all, it doesn't have all that much horsepower and less torque and
the 126 LWB is a big heavy car.
I picked the car up in Florida and drove it back to Kansas. I enjoyed
driving it, but during the 14 hour days of driving I couldn't really
appreciate it or love it. I just wanted to get home.
While the 103 motor is not exactly zippy around town, I loved it on the
highway. I took it on a long trip this past weekend and put about 1000
miles on it. It is such a great highway performer and very comfortable
to drive. I don't think I have ever had a car that I could drive 7-8
hours straight without stopping and stretching and fighting an aching
back or legs. If I didn't have to stop for gas or nature's call --I
could drive forever in this car. I now know why so many 126 owners rave
about these cars. Now if we could just do something about the gas
mileage. I guess I am going to have to get an SDL.
