Is 4Matic worth it??
I know I asked this before, but how important is it to have 4Matic?? Did anyone strongly consider it and then do without??

Sure, why not, 4MATIC is probably worth it if you rather not change into snow tires and would prefer more peace of mind, living in New England. However, you forego:
- AMG Styling Package
- an E55

I haven't driven a Non-4matic compared to a 4matic V8, but the 4matic v8 seems fast enough...
