From the one or two times that I did catch the site up, I remember it was nice to be able to take a glance at the shop manuals.
That being said, I find it faster to just keep the segments of the manual that are applicable to my car on my thumb drive, along with the updated index that one of the other owners here built.

It acceses faster, and is still available when there is no net connection to be had.

Mercedes proper has the CD's for under $20 bucks. Doesn't get much cheaper than that..... (and loads faster)
