At the time I started the U-joint thread there was an online Mercedes Dealer that sold the Drive Shaft with U-joint for around $275. It is also too heavy to qualify for the free shipping.
If you wanted to go the new Shaft route you could call Phil and see what he can come up with.
Other makes of Cars also use the staked U-joints. Ford actually has a kit for one of their makes. It had something like a Hole Saw to cut out the staked area.
