Perplexed- Dual display

Hi, I just received a call from my dealer who told me that my production date for an e 300 po3 dual display would be in February 2017. I would like to know what comes with the dual display? What would i give up if i change my order to analog instead of digital. I have to make this decision by Thursday. Then, i could possibly have a December production date. Help.......... Thanks

The analog display consists of 2 large electro-mechanical fixed format gauges with a small lcd display between them. They are similar to what MB has been producing for many, many years.

The 12.3" lcd instrument display is all digital and configurable to meet your needs. It is standard on the E43.

when did you place your order? Are they telling you there is a delay, or are you just doing it now?

Hi, Thanks for all the input. I placed my order last week. The dealer called with the info that the production date would be sometime in February 2017, with a delivery date in March or April. That gets the delivery date for the 2017 model 3 or 4 months before the 2018 models. What impact do you think would that have on the established price of the 2017 car, and or new incentives from MB?
Thanks again,
