Hi Stefano ! My reasons for buying a 409 are EXACTLY the same.
Of course being useless person I have owned it nearly 30 years and have hardly ever had it in running order, but that is a different story.
The only thing that slightly annoys me about a 409 is that I think the front end of the 410 is just a little bit prettier, but the 410 has a gear lever and 15 inch wheels so it just doesn't measure up !
It was the infamous Ralph Nader who insisted all US cars had the same gearchange system (i.e. a lever with the gears arranged PRNDL), and put an end to Chrysler push-buttons. Of course in today's electronic world we could go back to buttons very easily, or even a touch screen !
