Compared to the Vette, My little bro has a beautiful '92 rag top.
The Mercedes looks good with the Hard top on, you wouldn't know it was removable. Keith has the Hardtop, although he's never really had it on, it really looks wrong.
The SL is so roomy inside, the Vette or even a brand new XLR with the top up is right behind your head. You feel like you want to crouch down. The SL is big and expansive.
Cruising is comfortable, and you get really get it out of the hole if you use first gear !!!

Not so sure you can compare a Vette and a Mercedes SL. I have both - my Vette is a C5 body style. These are two totally different cars to fill different needs and desires. If want class and ride and smoothness go for the Mercedes but if you want an E-Ticket performance ride that will scare the crap out of most of your riders with their eye balls popping out when you put the pedal down - then go for the Vette. Nothing out there gives as much performance for $$$ spent than a C5 or C6 Corvette. Plus the Vettes have more leg room hip room and head room than an SL. But I still love my SLs
