Yes, as noted above, MBs have had this double-jointed hood release for a very long time....nothing new here.
Secondly, it is not necessary to go to the "full up" position to check the oil dipstick.
Now that the grill is no longer attached to the hood, this feature is less important than it used to be - with the grill hanging there, the mechanics really loved being able to get it up and out of the way.

The vertical hood position also helps with letting light into the engine bay on those overcast days that you're working on it. It also just saves you from hitting your head when you're working from the side. Even short little me hits my head in the normal open position.

The only difference between the 204 and previous MB's is that the 204 utilizes two different hood struts. One is for normal open and the other is for full open positions. There is no hindge that needs to be "activated" to get to full extended position, you just simply push it up higher.
