2018 vs 2021 AMG E63s Wagon Help

Is the facelift and mbux with the extra coin? Have a 2022 GLS so very familiar with MBUX but from what I’ve seen and read. The pre-facelift model was sportier and more exhilarating. Which should I lean toward? Don’t mind paying up for the facelift since it’s newer (less age on rubber parts and consumables) and has better tech but primarily care about the driving experience since it’s mostly me alone in the car commuting and running errands. Have a 911 so don’t need it to be too sporty but would like to make my drives a little bit more fun. This car will be driven year round in New England and mostly kept outside in case there’s a materials difference between models that prevents corrosion
