As for the "antennae" defining the rear corners.....wouldn't it be a shame to bump a $100,000+ car into something backing up because you (or an occasional driver, such as a valet parker?) wasn't sure exactly where the corner was?

I don't find that those are really that useful...better than nothing for such a large car...yes.....but not really that useful in a tight situation...
the newer park distance controls(..ie..parktronic) are much better at this ...maybe thats why they stopped with the antennas after 96(?) and some of the later models indeed have the new park distance control
As for realiability there is no doubt the latter ones were better...actually if you have an early one with updated parts, its a lot better and actually pretty realiable
The first couple of years of ownership of my car were a nightmare..the car spent a lot of time at the MB for repairs that were thankfully done under warranty and I think I got most of the updates that MB had done on the car and its related repair parts at the time
The last three years I have had only problems that you would associate with any benz that is 12 years old and has 175K miles
