You can be cheap any where in the car just dont skimp on brakes
I checked the service records last evening. It appears the brake master cylinder has NEVER been replaced since the car was new in 1991. Twenty-five years of driving and wear and tear, it certainly can't hurt to replace the master cylinder do you think? You are correct, brakes are a VERY important part of the car, therefore it seems to me that it would be prudent to replace it rather than worry about it's integrity.

Again, has anyone out there in Mercedes land had any experience with brake master cylinders from Advance Auto, NAPA, Pep Boys, O'Reilly's or AutoZone??
