Buying a Mercedes-Benz SLK - which model is best?

I am considering buying a Mercedes-Benz CLK of some description (hard top or convertible) and will be trading in a Peugeot RCZ, expecting to spend about £20,000. Which model would you recommend?

The 2002-2009 CLK looked better than it was. Avoid the '350' petrol engine.
