I like the interior of the SL - its fit and finish seem fine. I'm not educated enough in the finer things in the automobile world yet such as matching leather and wood but I understand your drift in terms of a downward move in material quality. Thanks again.

I think you have it. I will tell you that the interior, while they may look the same, are very different in feel. The SL600 is much nicer than the SL500. The two biggest differences are the Alcantara finishes and the quality of the leather.
As for the engine, that is obvious as well.
