E-400 Cabriolet
Would you buy a 2016 E-550 Cabriolet again?
I'm thinking about getting a 2016 E-550 in the next week or so, and you are the right people to ask. I'm ok with the 400, but I think the 550 will be more fun. I found one with every available option including Apple CarPlay (only made after Jan 2016). So my question is this, if you have one now, would you buy it again?? Would you go for the 400 or 550?

You have to define what "fun" means. The 400 will be lighter--more fun in twistys--and better MPG. Edmunds says the 550 is only 0.3 second quicker to 60 MPH (5.0 vs. 5.3), so indistinguishable. The only advantage to the 550, according to Edmunds, is the exhaust note. In terms of $$$, initial buy-in and insurance will be cheaper in the 400.
