If you had a do-over, which would you get?
Honestly, if you could do it again would you go for a Mercedes diesel or a Ford V10?

It's not exactly an apples to apples comparison. Not usually anyways. There's a handfull of similar 22-24' coaches with similar bodies, but generally the Sprinter coaches are smaller, with a much more aero front cap.
Some E-series V10 Class B+ coaches will get 10+. Some squared-off cabover MBs like the Thor Quantum might struggle to hit 14.
Keep in mind most Sprinter coaches only have 4 seatbelts, even if they have more seats, in order to maintain an achievable carrying capacity.
So.... I suggest checking out floorplans in person, and then doing some test driving. Also don't forget that more and more coaches are available on the Transit platform. It's the most car-like, and the diesel gets very comparable fuel economy to the Sprinter. And for a smaller gas coach, I'd certainly trust the 3.7L gas Transit over the MB 2.0L turbo gas motor. That tiny engine will be in boost full time!
