Amen to that. The ADS especially. That could be the 220 equivalent of the evaporator core if it proves failure-prone.
Not to mention, the MY2000's have a known issue of less than adequate AC in hot climates.

Sure hope MB have got these things right. They got the incredibly complicated top mechanism on the SLK down pat though...no reason to think DCAG can't make the other high tech systems reliable too.
