It's normal to replace the discs on a Mercedes and never turn them. They're cheap (usually about $60 each, or so) and so it's not really worth trying to extend the life of them by removing material.
A typical top-out cost of front brakes would be about $80-100 for the pad set, $120 for the two front discs, and $250 for bits (pad sensors, etc) and labour, setting a total bill of about $450 or so. This is comparable to most cars I've owned. The advantage that I've seen with my own MB's is the ability for a DIY to perform the job at home without any special tools.
