the RX-8 isn't exactly your "saloon" since it's not a traditional 4-door. i'd recommend referring to Top Gear to see how it compares to some other smaller, sporty cars.

the difference between the E-class Bluetec is an easy one -- if you like some luxury, softer suspension, then go for the Merc. if handling is your number one priority, then go for the RX-8. i'm partial to RX-8, so i'm saying it's the better choice (and better looking car), especially if you don't have kids.
