Purchase advice on motorization

Scared all together My concern is the following. I want to get a R129 preferably a 320 or 280 Vor Mopf or Ggf. Mopf 1 My question is the 280 undermotorized? Because I want to cruise and use the vehicle only for Sundays and if then relaxed long distance. I know the M119 from my W140 and E50 Amg is a super engine but then still too thirsty for me.
