+1... I had ordered the chrome smart key from oempartsdirect before as well when I had my 203 and confirm that version had the metal loop when the blade key is taken out.
Why MB took that out on the new keys is stupid.
Here's a pic I found from another thread that shows the loop more clearly.

Or ... (there has to be a different reason, eh? ... the thing was prone to breakage so they just removed it!

I'm gonna make a rash assumption here: the loop disappears when the owner's keep is put in. So, it's kind of useless anyway. For a valet key, the loop should have a ring in it already so all the valet has to do is hang it on his board. The loop that goes away means someone has to attach a ring/rubber band/etc. to make is useful, and remove it later. Too much work.

I never valet. Or at least try my hardest to avoid using one, especially because I have a stick. Valets suck at driving.
But my comment is off-topic, I suppose.
