Lease calculator...found another one
For those that were looking at leasing and needed a calculator I've found another one that seems to work pretty good.
Lease Guide
I used it with my current lease numbers and its only a few pennies off. Seems to be accurate if you have the right numbers from the dealers....i.e. the money factor which is very hard to get sometimes. Good Luck.

There is one that actually presents lease deal opportunities. They do not yet have '03 E320 and E500 numbers but will soon I assume as they have the '03 CLK. The site is www.leasecompare.com.

The reason you may find higher lease quotes on www.LeaseCompare.com is the site does not offer any manufacturer subsidized lease programs.
These factory programs normally have an artificially inflated residual that helps lower the payment. They can afford to take a loss on the vehicle by making it up on profit from the sale.
Independent leasing companies to not have that luxury.
In most cases these subsidized programs are not good for the consumer. Due to the inflated residual they offer few real options at the end of the lease and don't even think about getting out early without losing your shirt.
