Change Air Filter To A K&n

Is it worth while to change the stock air filter on a 2002 S500 to a K & N filter. If so what are the benifits. If they are so great why doesn't Mercedes install them or a copy of them on their vehicles?

Has anyone done this and what are your finding?

Thanks for the input

I believe it was concluded that a well-maintained stock filter should be just as good as the K&N...I believe somebody on this forum did an extensive comparison before...
