Cat 420D vs 420E

looking at backhoes and am curious what the differences are between the 2. I’m wanting something reliable and not to complicated with electronics. Are these 2 machines about the same or is the E full of electronics I’m looking at a 2006 E model if that matters. What does everybody prefer?

    My C models have mechanical levers for rear boom. My E models have pilot controls for rear boom, with rocker switch pattern changer. There is no emissions controls or electronics of consequence on either. Dont have a D model.
