First class lease protection Vs first class 3 star protection

hi what would you recommend between either or suggest both , I am based in Alberta and did utilize the tire and rim protection for my previous car which saved me a whopping 1000 dollars for a replacement of run flat tire , the three star protection by MB Canada also gives 3 windshield replacement and dent repair less than 4 inches . First class lease protection or deposit of 1200 is standard as per MB /dealer .
i already bought the first class lease protection but planning to cancel . For 85000$ plus car just want to make sure don’t get dinged at the end of the lease .
what are your thoughts . Alberta is famous for windshield chips and potholes.

MB E-class
I'm not familiar about prices in USA, but in Europe I protected my E-class coupe for 420 USD with work.
Right now more suitable and the cheapest way to protect from chirps is liquid wrap Protect - https://protect-auto.ru
After 3 days they gave me protected the car with protected layer of 260 mkm.

I got the first class protection, but mine included windshield protection, paintless dent repair and interior and exterior protection. The price was super high though and I am unsure whether it was worth it. It was close to 2000 dollars. I also live in Calgary and so far I've only gotten two door dings removed with it. I also just make them clean the floors and footwells under the protection plan every tire change since I have the designo beige interior. I think depending on how much you would pay for the protection plan it could be worth it since just a replacement tire and rim can be close to $1000 if you ever hit a pothole, which there are plenty of here. As well as other road debris from construction.

The first class lease protection was offered at an absurd price to me. The one they offered me only covered 3500 worth of wear and tear at the end of the lease and they wanted close to $1800 and missing key isn't covered. I declined it because I have heard if you buy or lease a new car with Mercedes-Benz, any damages are usually waived by the dealership. Also, on our 2016 X5 the same lease end protection was way cheaper : $1099 and it covered up to $7500 worth of damage, with a limit of 1000 per item.
