I concur. Mercedes claimed the switchover to be due to packaging issues
in C-Class and wanted the cheap route of providing the same motor for
entire model range...

In the US, the last year for single-cam sixes is 1992. The '93 300E is really a
3.2 liter twincam, and the 300E 2.8 is also a twincam.
The 190 however still had single-cam fours and sixes and did not get the
twin-cam engines, as these were slated to come in with the all-new 202
(C-Class) cars of 1994.

I'm sure thats true, but there's something about the power delivery from an
inline six.... it just seems smoother....
