my old w202 had a single blade "eccentric" sweep wiper. it looked really cool, but I think the rationale for changing to the cool looking single blade to the conventional 2 blade setup is that the 2 blades are more effective and hold better at higher speeds...

I thought the single blade was cool... However, I don't really think it's a worthwhile mod, but to each his own.
