Question Transmission shop vs. Benz shop?

I may need to get some transmission work done soon, and I wonder which place is best for working on it, a specialty transmission shop, or a specialty Benz shop? The tranny is shifting real hard, especially when under light accelleration. But I'm also noticing a little slippage in first gear off the line occasionally.

The hard shifting is probably just a simple adjustment, and I will probably attempt it myself, but just in case that doesn't pan out, or the slippage gets worse... Any opinions on which type of shop to take it to?

Here in Austin I have a choice of a few indies the specialize in Mercedes, the MB dealer and of course a few transmission shops as well.
