Jay Leno's Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 Almost Ended Up With An SLS Engine, But He's Restored It As Stock

After listening to the opinion of his commenters, Jay Leno decided to stick with this engine in his own 300SEL, despite flirting with the idea of transplanting an SLS drivetrain he’d obtained.
What would you do: keep the standard engine, or put in the modern running gear?
