As far as costs go, these cars can't be beat. Well I'm sure they can, but I love my car, so whatever.

That's not unlike myself. I was fascinated by SVO/WVO as well and researched it quite a bit. It wasn't the reason I liked diesel Benzes but it was an interesting aside. My driving habits and the fact that I'm too damn lazy to deal with the extra work made the decision for me.
