Envy factor

My E320 W211 is definitely overdue now. Have a brilliant offer for an even new W220-500. Is the envy factor with German customers (Managing Director Mittelstand and Buyer) much greater than with the E-Class? Or do I overestimate it as Swiss. I know a little stupid the question, but maybe one or the other has had his experience? I was and am just a total S-fan. Can stick 350 on it, or CDI 190 What do you think in Germany as World Cup champion -06 plus? Or do I get only pity for the W220 instead of envy? (because 221) Otherwise I buy myself a modest E500 greeting!!
