Looking at a couple CLS's, thoughts please?

Hey guys, just signed up while researching the possible 2 new MB's I'm looking at.
The 1st is a 2009 CLS63 AMG (Iridium silver with black interior) it has the Perform and Premium 1 packages, 58k miles from a NON MB dealer, no warranty (but told aftermarket would be avail).

The 2nd is a 2010 CLS550 "Grand Edition", Matte Platinum paint (Amaro red interior), AMG Sport and premium 1 packages, 31k miles from local MB dealer and has 1.5 yrs warranty remaining.

The CLS550 is only $1200 cheaper, but does have the 1.5 yrs warranty. Which would you guys choose?

Thanks for thoughts and options.

I'd say go for the AMG. The 550 feels very very slow. And I find the brakes to be weak for the weight of the car. I sort of regret not getting an AMG myself.
