Alignment problem??

Question about 123 alignments.... I had a local shop that I usually trust do an alignment on my MB. The car pulled slightly to the right when it went in. Now it still pulls but not as bad-very slightly. Looking at the alignment printout they didn't touch the caster or camber just "set the toe and let it go" The caster and camber are slightly out of spec on both sides according to the specs I have but are very close. I just drove the car over 700miles and no uneven tire wear. I have an appointment with them again on 12/31 so they can hopefully correct the issue. Do these cars tend to follow the crown of the road? It pulls more at low speeds, at 70-80mph it seems just fine. I am wondering if I am being too picky about this. Are Benzs finicky about perfect alignments? Maybe the tech didn't know how to adjust the MB frontend? I think that if I pay for something I should get it. Thanks, RT
