Alignment Guru's? Question on camber...

So I am behind on schedule (due to waiting for a different ball joint splitter) on replacing my 2008 E350's lower control arms which have COMPLETELY eaten my inside tire severely as seen at the bottom image. The lower control arm bushings are split and the new fresh ones will solve this.
Needless to say I can't take it to the alignment shop this weekend anymore due to time constraints so I am looking into doing a good enough alignment to get by.

My lower control arm bolts are not like my 124's that are eccentric, so I assume that because of this, camber is not adjustable? Or at least not without buying the camber bolt kit...

If I use the string method that I looked up online, I should be able to get the toe set correctly right?

Over the years I have read that MB alignment is all magic and only wizards can align them, but after googling more and more, I can't see how MB's are any different? Sure they use the spreader bar, but again, after research, I found that the spreader bar is actually used to simulate high speed (autobahn speeds) which I do not travel close to anyway, so it shouldn't even matter.

What do you aligment gurus think or advise?
