Gilly-
You do not truly buy into the "they will probably lower prices since they aren't offering the FSS" idea are you? No way in hell are they going to back off on price and write it out of the MSRP... they're trying to chip away at a poor bottom line. I watch countless '96+ MB owners at my father-in-law's shop carry on and on about poor build quality and how their W126 or W124 got them to welcome anything new MB had to offer. They're now in an electrical-shorting, sensor-failing, fuse-popping induced nightmare. My 2000 ML just crapped out on me today with electrical failures on the freeway, everything shut down... Sure many people have the "My car has been fine" story but just as many are wondering why their friggin' side mirror just fell off!!! (Wow, that was a great story earlier... mirror falling off, jeez.)
