Arrow Purchasing Decesions....CLS55 or CLS550???

This will be my next vehicle (CLS) and I do love my modifications.
Which model would you favor and why?

I didn't do my homework...... I thought (like the CLK models) that the CLS55 just went up to 362hp like the CLK's do.
I did NOT realize, however, the CLS55 is at 469.

My original question has been answered, for sure.


When trying to get more from the 55 supercharger, what specifically gets modified to produce more power (with the supercharger)?

Thanks for weighing in.....

I figured as much, but you almost don't have to do so much when starting from 469hp. My starting point is 302 on my w209. There is so much more ground to cover with a 500 series MB than the CLS55.
