Distronic Pro vs Distronic Plus

Hi everyone, I am about to decide between two facelifted cars.
Both are CL550: Nov10 vs Dec13 Production dates.

Both car seems to have distronic switch behind the steering wheel and radar behind logo but when I check their VIN options, I noticed they are with different options.
'11 model has 239 ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL PRO (DISTRONIC PRO)
but '14 model has 233 AUTONOMOUS INT. CRUISE CONT. PLUS (DISTRONIC PLUS).

What is the difference? Pro is with 1 camera and plus is with 3 cameras? Does Both supports stop&go traffic?

PS: both cars have active lane change as well.

My understanding is that they are largely the same but plus has active steering assist whereas pro does not.
