I love both cars, but I purchased the CL600 instead of the CL55 for two reasons:

First, I see many more 55s and very few 600s. I can probably count on 1 hand the amount of 600s I've seen. I like to have a car that you don't see often.

Second, I liked the fact that the V12TT is so easily tunable by Renntech. I spent $5500 and my car has 625hp and 745tq. MY car hangs with C6 Z06s and Ford GT; the power aspect for me closed the deal on the 600 instead of the 55.

If power is not so important to you, then the "easy tuning" of the 600 may not matter to you. btw, I never drove the CL55, so I don't know how it drives.
