I've got the same dilema over my 89 300E. So much of what's out now looks like a pinball machine. Fine for those who want that, but I don't think it fits the understated character of MB. Having a hard time finding someone who carries Nak here in Cincinnati. Plenty on ebay. Anyway, one shop's phone book ad showed Nak, said they stopped carrying them due to cd skipping problems. They then tried to sell me on Clarion (black faceplate). Anyone have any feedback on the Nakamichi CD-40z or CD-45z, especially re skipping? I'm also considering a Blaupunkt Tokyo, or even Toronto if I can find one. Other thought is to go with a unit out of a later Mercedes, again a couple of units out of C320's on ebay. But then have to add an external cd changer. Oh well, its only money...
